Payam Javan: U.S. President Donald Trump has called for the immediate evacuation of Tehran, warning residents to leave the city due to escalating military tensions between Israel and Iran. Speaking from the White House, Trump cited intelligence suggesting imminent risks to the Iranian capital following Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. He emphasized that the U.S. is not directly involved but urged civilians to seek safety, stating, “Tehran is not a safe place right now.” The statement comes as Iran’s leadership vowed to retaliate against Israel’s attacks, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
Iranian officials dismissed Trump’s evacuation warning as psychological warfare, accusing the U.S. of amplifying tensions to justify Israeli aggression. The Iranian military reported that its air defenses remain on high alert, with missile strikes targeting Israeli positions in response to attacks on its infrastructure. The situation has heightened global concerns, with the United Nations calling for an emergency session to address the crisis. Trump’s remarks, coupled with his ongoing National Security Council meetings, suggest the U.S. is preparing for potential escalation, though no specific actions were detailed.
