Reuters quoted US officials on Sunday as saying that US President Donald Trump opposed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

The agency said, "American officials reported that Trump opposed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader in the past two days."

Reuters also quoted US officials as saying that "President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei."

She added, quoting a senior US administration official: "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. And until they do, we won't even talk about targeting the political leadership."

The Israeli National Security Advisor also confirmed in a press statement that "there is no American veto of an Israeli request to assassinate Khamenei."

Sunday afternoon saw a significant and dangerous escalation in the conflict between Israel and Iran, with a fierce exchange of fire resulting in massive human and material losses.

Iran's Fars News Agency initially reported that the Greater Tehran Police Station had been bombed by Israel, and indicated that Israel had begun targeting civilians.

The agency said in a breaking news report: "We are facing a new and direct Israeli aggression against civilians in the capital, Tehran."

She added, "Sounds of explosions were heard in Tabriz, western Iran," noting that "Israel also targeted a residential building near Keshavarz Street in Tehran."

Reports indicated an "Israeli attack in the city of Arak."

The agency also reported: "Iranian police officers were injured at their headquarters in Tehran in a drone attack."

Israeli missiles also fell near the Iraqi embassy in Tehran, as well as on the street housing the Iranian intelligence building.

Hundreds of Iranians were also observed fleeing away from military headquarters, with video footage showing large numbers of vehicles leaving for safer cities.
