Israel seemed to expand its air campaign on Tehran five days after its sudden attack on the Iranian military and nuclear program, as US President Donald Trump published residents of a warning to the fateful messages in the city.
“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Trump wrote on Monday night before returning to Washington early from a group of seven summit in Canada. “Everyone should evacuate Tehran immediately!” He added.
Trump later denied reports that he was quick to Washington to work on a ceasefire, saying that his early departure “had nothing to do with a cease -fire. Book much,” without explaining.

Earlier, the Israeli army called for about 330,000 neighborhood residents in the city center to evacuate. Tehran is one of the largest cities in the Middle East, with about 10 million people, which is almost equivalent to the population of Israel. People have escaped since the beginning of hostilities.
Israel says its full assault on the major military commanders in Iran, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment sites, and ballistic missile program are necessary to long prevent its opponent from approaching the construction of an atomic weapon. The strikes have killed at least 224 people since Friday.
Iran has taken revenge on the launch of more than 370 missiles and hundreds of drones in Israel. So far, 24 people have been killed in Israel and more than 500 people. The Israeli army said that a new rocket camel was launched on Tuesday, and explosions could be heard in northern Israel.
The stores closed the gas lines in the capital of Iran
The center of Tehran seemed to be emptied early on Tuesday, with many stores closed. The old large bazaar in the city was also closed, which happened only in the past during the anti -government demonstrations or at the height of the Corona virus.
On the roads from Tehran to the west, the bumper traffic stood. Many of them seem to go to the Caspian Sea. Long lines can also be seen at the gas stations in Tehran.
The authorities within the Iranian government continued to insist that everything was under control and did not provide any instructions to the public about what to do.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army claimed that it had killed a person who described it as the best general in Iran in a blow to Tehran. Iran did not immediately comment on the killing of General Ali Steamani, who was just named as head of the Central Khatam headquarters of the Khatam, which is part of the semi -military Revolutionary Guard.
Iran appointed other generals to replace the leaders of the guardian and the ordinary armed forces after they were killed in previous strikes.
Trump leaves the G7 early to focus on the conflict
Before leaving the summit in Canada, Trump joined other leaders in a joint statement saying that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon” and calls for “the fight against the Middle East, including the ceasefire in Gaza.”
French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters that the discussions were ongoing on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, but Trump seemed to shoot at his position on social media.
Macron wrote by mistake that I left the Group 7 summit in Canada to return to the capital to work on “stopping fire” between Israel and Iran. ” He has no idea that I am now on my way to Washington, but he certainly has nothing to do with the fire. Many larger. “
Meanwhile, US Defense Secretary, Beit Higseth, went to the White House room to meet the president and the national security team.
Higseth did not provide details about what paid the meeting, but he said in Fox News late on Monday that the movements “ensuring that our people are safe.”
Israel says it has a “air superiority” over Tehran
Israeli military spokesman, Dean. General Evi Defern said on Monday that his country’s forces “achieved a complete air superiority over the sky of Tehran.”
The army said it had destroyed more than 120 rocket launchers from the surface to the surface of the Earth in central Iran, a third of Iran, including several bombers before the ballistic missiles were fired towards Israel. The army said it also destroyed two F-14 fighters that Iran used to target Israeli aircraft.
Israeli military officials also said that the combat aircraft had hit 10 leadership centers in Tehran belonging to the Iranian force of Jerusalem, which is the elite arm of the semi -military revolutionary guards that run military and covered operations outside Iran.
The Israeli army issued a warning to evacuate a part of the center of Tehran, which includes the country’s television and police headquarters, in addition to three large hospitals, including hospitals owned by the guard. Similar evacuation warnings were issued to parts of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon before the strikes.
Health authorities stated that 1,277 people were injured in Iran.
Rights groups, such as the group of Iranian human rights activists based, suggested that the death of the Iranian government is great. The group says it has documented more than 400 people, including 197 civilians.
Israel says the strikes have prepared a nuclear program
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Israeli strikes had returned the Iranian nuclear program to “a very long time”, and reported that he was in daily contact with Trump.
Iran confirms that its nuclear program is peaceful, and the United States and others evaluated that Tehran has not had an organized effort to follow up a nuclear weapon since 2003. The President of the International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly warned that the country has enough enriched uranium to manufacture many nuclear anxiety if you choose.
So far, Israel has targeted multiple Iranian nuclear programs sites, but it has not been able to destroy the Iranian Eraranium Euranium facility.
The site is buried under the deep Earth-and to seek, Israel may need to penetrate huge munitions of 30,000 pounds (14,000 kg) GBU-57, a supercompan bomb in the United States that uses its weight and the tremendous movement of the power to reach the deep buried targets. Israel has no ammunition or the bomber needed to deliver it. The hacker is currently delivered by B-2 Stealth Bomber.
There is no sign of the conflict
Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Aragichi, appeared on Monday to the United States to enter and negotiate, as he was hostile to Israel and Iran.
In a post on X, Araghchi wrote that if Trump is “real about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, the following steps are educated.”
“It takes a single phone call from Washington to honor a person like Netanyahu,” the best diplomat in Iran wrote. “This path may be paved to return to diplomacy.”
A message was sent to Washington, where the latest talks between the United States and Iran were canceled during the weekend after Israel’s sudden bombing.
On Sunday, Aragcha said that Iran would stop its strikes if Israel would do the same.
