Tehran "reserves all options" to retaliate, said the minister.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it has detected the launch of missiles from Iran after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

"A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel," the IDF said on Telegram.

The Israeli army added that an air raid alert has been declared in some regions of Israel and ordered residents to take shelter in protected areas.

The Israel Airports Authority said in a statement earlier that Israel has closed its airspace after the U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear sites, although land crossings with Egypt and Jordan are operating normally.

"Israel's airspace is closed to entry and exit. The public should stay updated with the airlines. Land crossings to Sinai and Jordan are operating as usual," the statement said.

The Iranian state media reported that there were "no signs of contamination" at the nuclear sites at Esfahan, Fordo and Natanz after U.S. airstrikes, quoting a statement from the country's National Nuclear Safety System Center.
