A compound that was formerly a US embassy appears to have been struck in Tehran as the Iran-US war rages, reported news agency AP.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard reportedly control the compound since the 1979 hostage crisis and its all-volunteer Basij force operates the premises.

Witnesses have reportedly seen broken windows in the vicinity, but the absence any missile strike on the compound has led to speculation that the attack took place inside the premises.

US State Secretary Marco Rubio reportedly said that the end to the war in Iran is 'coming', while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed Tehran's readiness to conclude the war against what he termed as the 'US-Israeli aggression', but needs 'firm guarantees' against future domestic attacks.
