President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.
Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."
Fifteen Iranians were injured in recent Israeli attacks on the country, the head of Iran's emergency medical services said on Monday, according to the semi-official Tasnim News Agency.
Fourteen of the injuries were reported in Mahshahr and one was in Tehran, he said, adding that no fatalities have been reported so far.

Israel preparing for 'several days' of strikes, military official says
An Israeli military official told ABC News on Monday that the Israel Defense Forces is "preparing for a range of options from several days to as long as it'll take," amid new direct exchanges between Israel and Iran that resumed on Sunday.
Iran has fired nearly 30 ballistic missiles toward Israel since Sunday evening, according to an Israeli military official. Additionally, the Houthis fired two ballistic missiles, only one of which reached Israeli territory.
Israeli aircraft carried out strikes on military targets in Iran on Monday morning, including on Iranian air defense systems, the official said. The IDF also hit a petrochemical plant in southwestern Iran which was used for making chemicals for ballistic missiles, an Israeli military official said.
