Tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate as U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark message on social media, urging everyone to “immediately evacuate Tehran.”
“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!” — Trump wrote.
The warning was not only shared on his official account but was also amplified by the White House and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, giving it the weight of official government policy. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also echoed the sense of urgency, calling on Americans to “pray for our troops” and for “the innocent people in Israel and Iran.”
Following these messages, a mass exodus reportedly began in Tehran, with witnesses citing traffic jams on major routes out of the city and heightened panic among residents and foreigners alike.
As the crisis deepens, President Trump has taken the extraordinary step of leaving the G7 summit early, returning to Washington, D.C., tonight, according to a report by CNN. While no official reason has been given, the sudden departure adds to speculation that the U.S. may be preparing to actively join Israel in a potential military confrontation with Iran.
The situation remains fluid and highly volatile.
