President Donald Trump on Tuesday urged everyone to immediately evacuate Tehran and reiterated that Iran should have signed the nuclear deal with the United States.
"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 wrote.
On June 13, Trump urged Iran to reach a nuclear deal with the US or face attacks that 'will only get worse!' after Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, significantly escalating the ongoing conflict over Tehran's nuclear programme and raising the potential for a new war in the Middle East.
The US president had said he wants an agreement that curbs Iran's nuclear programme and prevents it from making an atomic weapon. He has threatened to use military action against the country if it rejects the deal.
Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Israel “controls the skies over Tehran” and said his country is “on the way” to achieving its goals of destroying the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threats.
At least 24 Israelis have been killed and over 300 injured in attacks carried out by Iran since Friday. According to the IDF, Tehran has fired 335 missiles, most of which were intercepted, and more than a hundred drones at Israel after the Jewish state launched a surprise attack on Friday, dubbed Operation Rising Lion.
