Attacks on an Iranian Navy site in Konarak, southern Iran and a military site on the outskirts of the port city of Bushehr, where Iran's only nuclear power plant is located, were reported by Iranian media overnight. 

Iran's state news agency IRNA, quoting a local official, attributed the Konarak attack to the "enemy," and said the Bushehr incident was caused by a U.S.-Israeli projectile. 

Speaking to Al Jazeera, a U.S. official denied the country's military was responsible for the latest strikes. An American official also said that Washington was still committed to finding a resolution with Tehran and that technical talks were in progress.
