A forceful, early‑morning Israeli air campaign struck Tehran and nearby military and nuclear sites, just hours after former U.S. President Trump ordered Iranians to evacuate and demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender” . Explosions rattled the capital, sending 330,000 residents fleeing under evacuation orders . Israeli jets, backed by stealth aircraft and Mossad‑facilitated drone strikes, have dismantled air defenses, command centers, missile launchers, and nuclear enrichment facilities . Iran responded with hundreds of missiles and drones targeting Israel, triggering air raids and interceptions, with casualties rising on both sides—hundreds dead in Iran and dozens in Israel . U.S. military presence in the region has intensified amid global concern over possible escalation. (PC: AFP)
