Trump Calls for Immediate Evacuation of Tehran Following Explosions
In a dramatic escalation of tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran, former President Donald Trump urged residents of Tehran to evacuate the city immediately after a series of explosions rattled the Iranian capital.
Explosions Spark Panic Across Tehran
The blasts, reported in the eastern part of Tehran, sent shockwaves through a city home to nearly 10 million people. The sudden violence ignited widespread alarm, with many fearing a broader conflict on the horizon.
Trump’s Strong Stance on Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions
Reacting to the deteriorating situation, Trump reiterated his long-standing position opposing Iran's nuclear program. Posting on his social media platform, he emphasized that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon” and criticized Tehran for rejecting what he described as a sensible nuclear deal.
“Iran should have signed the deal I told them to sign. What a shame, and what a waste of human life. Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”
Despite the urgency in his message, White House officials later clarified that this was not an official directive for evacuation but rather a pointed warning highlighting the gravity of the situation.
Calls for Diplomacy Amid Rising Conflict
Speaking to the press prior to a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump conveyed a cautiously optimistic tone about potential negotiations. He observed that Iran appeared inclined to ease tensions with Israel but urged swift dialogue to prevent further escalation.
“I see that Iran is not winning this war. They should talk, and they should talk immediately—before it’s too late.”
What This Means for Regional Stability
The call for evacuation and the spike in hostilities underscore the fragile state of peace in the Middle East. As Iran and Israel face off, fears of a broader conflict grow, making diplomatic efforts critical to avoid devastating outcomes.
Residents and observers alike are watching closely as international leaders weigh their responses in an increasingly volatile environment.
