Iran missile attacks on Israel kill 5, while Israel claims it now has air superiority over Tehran
Israel has warned 300,000 people in Tehran to evacuate as its air campaign on the Iranian capital intensifies. U.S. President Donald Trump issued an ominous message calling for the immediate evacuation of Tehran, stating that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Israeli strikes have significantly set back Iran's nuclear program, which Israel views as a necessary measure to prevent Iran from developing an atomic weapon. The conflict has resulted in casualties on both sides, with at least 224 people killed in Iran and 24 in Israel. Iran has retaliated by launching missiles and drones at Israel. The escalating conflict has raised concerns about an all-out war and caused widespread disruption, including the closure of airspace across the Middle East. Israeli military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin asserted that Israeli forces have achieved full aerial superiority over Tehran. Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister suggested that the U.S. could play a role in negotiating an end to the hostilities. The ongoing exchange of strikes shows no sign of abating, with both nations continuing their military actions.
