State TV cited sources who said the scientist, Mohammad Reza Seddiqi Saber, was killed at his parents' home in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh, in Gilan province. Gilan's deputy governor said four apartments were destroyed by an explosion in a residential building. The Israeli government meanwhile said its military had "eliminated an additional senior nuclear scientist" in recent days, without identifying them. That claim came in a statement that said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet had agreed to US President Donald Trump's proposal for a ceasefire with Iran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country would respect the ceasefire if Israel did. (BBC)
