WASHINGTON

US President Donald Trump urged civilians Monday to evacuate Tehran "immediately" amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran.

"Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again!

"Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" he said on his Truth Social platform.

Tensions have escalated since Friday, when Israel launched coordinated airstrikes and drone attacks on multiple sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.
