Israel and Iran attacked each other for a fifth day straight on Tuesday. Following this, US President Donald Trump asked Iranians to evacuate Tehran immediately, claiming that the country had refused a deal to curb nuclear weapons development.
As soon as Trump's "evacuate Tehran" post on Truth Social caused panic, multiple explosions were heard in the Iranian capital on Monday, as per the local media. Soon after this, the White House officials clarified that Trump was not literally asking people to leave Tehran.
In the post, Trump wrote, ¡°IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON." As well as that, he also added that Iran should have signed the 'deal.' He told it to sign to prevent what he said was a 'shame and waste of human life.'
Trump further added, "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Well, Tehran is home to nearly 9.5 million people, and the Israeli military issued a warning of evacuation on Monday, affecting up to 330,000 people in a part of central Tehran that includes the country's state TV and police headquarters.
However, according to an official who told CNN, Trump's post merely reflected the urgency of the need for Iran to come to the table.
On Monday, a video surfaced on the internet that showed an Israeli fire striking an Iranian state-run television station during a live broadcast, and the strikes were so intense that they forced the reporter to run off camera.
Moreover, the latest wave of missiles fired by Iran at Israel killed at least eight people. Amid this, a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came that said the Israeli strikes have set Iran's nuclear program back a 'very, very long time.'
He added that the regime is very weak and he is in touch with President Donald Trump. ¡°They want to stop and continue producing the weapons of death, both the nuclear weapons that threaten our existence and the ballistic missiles, but we are committed to destroying these two threats. If that can be achieved in another way, please, but we gave it a chance for 60 days,¡± Netanyahu said.
