U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing options to join Israel’s strikes on Iran, including potential attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. His comments, urging residents to evacuate Tehran, come amid mounting Israeli airstrikes targeting missile sites and nuclear infrastructure. Thousands of Tehranis are fleeing the capital as panic spreads across highway routes out of the city. In response, Iran has begun rationing fuel and reinforcing internal security. Tehran's government warns any U.S. entry into the conflict would cause “irreparable damage.” The U.S. has so far provided indirect support—deploying fighter jets and assisting air defence—but has not engaged directly.
