Israel warns of imminent attack on Tehran, urges people to evacuate

TEHRAN: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stern warning, urging residents of Tehran, the capital of Iran, to evacuate immediately in anticipation of an imminent military operation. Netanyahu claimed that Tehran's airspace is now completely under Israeli control, signalling a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations. The Israeli leader further stated that Iran possesses missiles capable of reaching Europe, and emphasised that Israel is taking preemptive action against a threat that could confront European nations in the near future. “The threat that others may face tomorrow, we are facing today,” Israel clarified in an official statement.

Meanwhile, the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to intensify, with reports indicating that the death toll in Iran has surpassed 200 due to ongoing Israeli strikes. Iran has reportedly launched 370 ballistic missiles at Israel so far. In attacks carried out by Iran yesterday, five more people were killed in Israeli cities, raising the total Israeli death toll to 24.
