Iran Air Defences Fire Into The Sky As Israel Strikes Tehran For A Sixth Day | WION Shorts
Trump: „Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran“
It‘s not immediately clear what triggered Trump‘s dramatic post on Truth Social or his early return from Canada. Israel has been conducting strikes in Tehran since Thursday night, but the U.S. has so far declined to join the operation.
Shortly after Trump‘s post, Iranian media reported explosions and heavy air defense fire in Tehran. It‘s unclear if there was any relation between Trump‘s post and the attack.
Tehran is home to around 10 million people, with around 17 million in the metropolitan area.
‘The Israeli Air Force has full control over the skies of Tehran,‘ Netanyahu claims

Israel carries out strike on Iran’s national TV
Tehran, IRNA – The Israeli regime has attacked the headquarters of Iran’s national television, known as the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB).

Katz: Iranian propaganda ‘to disappear’ as IDF orders evacuation of Tehran district
Defense Minister Israel Katz said, in a subsequent statement, “The Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappear. The evacuation of local residents is beginning.”
The area indicated on the IDF map included the headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting propaganda channel.
If Israel doesn‘t target civilians, who are these victims, Katz?
Katz‘s initial comments, made after Iran‘s eighth strike on the occupied territories since the war‘s outbreak, declared that the „residents of Tehran“ would „pay the price“ for the successful offensive. The Hebrew statement, seemingly aimed at Israelis who had been spending hours in bomb shelters, soon circulated on Persian social media. This further undermined Israel‘s hopes of inciting coordinated unrest among Iranians, forcing Katz to take to X again, this time to „clarify“ his position in English.
„I wish to clarify the obvious: there is no intention to physically harm the residents of Tehran,“ he wrote.

In 2015, Iran proved the peaceful nature of its nuclear program to the world by signing the multilateral nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — with six world powers.
