“Leave before there is nothing left,” Trump said in a public statement, intensifying fears of a broader conflict between Iran and Israel. His remarks come amid escalating military actions in the region, following Iran’s recent missile attacks and Israel’s retaliatory strikes on strategic sites in Tehran.
The former president’s statement has sparked international concern, with many viewing it as a signal of possible further military escalation. Global leaders are now calling for restraint, while humanitarian organizations prepare for potential fallout.
Iranian officials have not yet responded directly to Trump’s comments, but state media has dismissed his remarks as “psychological warfare.”
Shortly after his statement, endless lines of cars were seen flooding the roads out of Tehran, as thousands of residents rushed to flee the city. Videos circulating on social media show packed highways and panicked civilians trying to escape what many fear could be a full-scale war.
Trump’s remarks follow a series of retaliatory strikes between Iran and Israel, with Iran launching hypersonic missiles and Israel targeting key infrastructure sites in Tehran, including military and nuclear-linked facilities.
