Iran and Israel continued to exchange attacks into Tuesday amid the latest round of conflict between the two nations.
Trump shared a stark warning to ‘evacuate’ Tehran on Truth Social Monday.
Aerial attacks between Israel and Iran continued overnight into Monday, marking a fourth day of strikes following Israel’s Friday attack. That surprise operation hit at the heart of Iran’s nuclear program, striking key facilities and killing several nuclear scientists as well as high-ranking military leaders, according to Israeli officials.
The U.S. did not provide any military assistance or have any involvement in Israel’s Friday strike, a U.S. official told ABC News. President Donald Trump told ABC News on Sunday, “It’s possible we could get involved.”

Trump told G7 leaders of potential Israel-Iran ceasefire, French president says
French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters at the G7 Summit that President Donald Trump indicated to fellow leaders that an offer for an Israel-Iran ceasefire has been made.
“There is an offer that has been made, especially to have a ceasefire and to initiate broader discussions. And I think this is a very good thing. So now we need to see what the stakeholders will do,” Macron said.
“I think the announcements made by President Trump are very positive and the role that the United States of America will have to play is key,” Macron said. “The French alongside them, the British and the Germans are available to resume serious discussions, discussions that we have never stopped,” he added.
The French president’s comments came after Trump abruptly left the summit, citing escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Trump says Iran ‘should have’ signed nuclear deal: ‘Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!’
Posting on his social media platform, President Donald Trump is advising citizens of Tehran, a city with a population of 9.8 million people, to “immediately evacuate.”
“Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life,” Trump posted.
“Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” he posted. “I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”
The warning comes as Iran and Israel continue to launch a new wave of missiles at each other and as Trump has publicly urged Iran to get back to the negotiation table and sign a nuclear deal.
