President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning for residents to evacuate Tehran immediately, emphasizing the importance of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. In a recent social media post, Trump reiterated his stance on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and urged everyone in Tehran to leave the city as a precautionary measure.
Following Trump’s warning, reports from Iranian state media indicated explosions and heavy air defense fire over Tehran. Additionally, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued an evacuation order for parts of Tehran, citing imminent airstrikes targeting military infrastructure in the area. IDF spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee urged residents to leave the specified area for their safety, as Israeli forces were planning to strike Iranian regime installations.
Videos circulating on social media showed people evacuating Tehran, a city with a population of approximately 9 million. The escalating tensions between Israel and Iran have resulted in a series of military actions, with Israel launching airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and military targets. In response, Iran has launched missiles and drones towards Israeli cities, prompting heightened alerts and activation of Israel’s air defense systems.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the military operation aims to eliminate the threats posed by Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. Netanyahu emphasized the need to protect the world from Iran’s aggressive actions and destabilizing behavior.
Trump has continuously urged Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions and return to negotiations. He warned that further delays could lead to severe consequences for the Iranian regime. Despite efforts to restart nuclear talks between Iran and the United States, planned discussions in Oman were canceled following Israel’s military strikes.
In response to the escalating conflict, the Trump administration has increased the U.S. military presence in the region. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced additional deployments to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, emphasizing the protection of U.S. forces as a top priority.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned Iran’s attacks on American interests and personnel, issuing a stern warning against targeting U.S. assets. The ongoing conflict has resulted in casualties on both sides, with the Iranian Ministry of Health reporting over 200 deaths and Israel confirming 24 casualties.
As tensions continue to rise between Israel and Iran, the international community closely monitors the situation, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The urgency of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains a top priority for global security.
