paragraph_text: 15 June
  
  A strike was reported on the Ministry of Justice building in Tehran. The IAF said that it bombed a refueling plane at the Mashhad Shahid Hasheminejad International Airport —around 2,300 kilometres (1,400 mi) from its territory—in what was possibly the most distant operation in its history.
  
  Israel struck surface-to-surface missiles in Iran as well as military bases. Israel also struck the Iranian foreign ministry. Missiles struck and killed the intelligence chief and the intelligence deputy chief of the IRGC. Along with the airstrikes, five car bombs detonated across Tehran, with explosions taking place next to government and nuclear-related sites, causing several nuclear scientists to be killed. Iran's state-run news agency, IRNA, accused Israel of executing this operation, even though an Israeli official denied any involvement.
  
  The IDF warned Iranian civilians to evacuate from the areas surrounding weapon factories and military bases in Shiraz. It was reported that Iran had sought mediation from Oman and Qatar to engage with the United States, aiming to halt the strikes and revive the stalled nuclear negotiations. Iran stated that they had arrested two individuals whom they claimed were members of the Mossad.
