The conflict between Israel and Iran has taken a grave turn, as the Israeli military on Sunday issued a direct and urgent warning to Iranian civilians, urging them to evacuate all weapons manufacturing facilities without delay.
This development signals a sharp escalation in hostilities following a series of Iranian retaliatory strikes overnight that left 10 Israelis dead and nearly 180 others wounded.
In a stern message shared on social media, Israeli military spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee cautioned Iranian citizens to distance themselves from military infrastructure.

“Urgent warning to all Iranian citizens: All persons who are currently or in the near future present in or around military weapons production factories and their support institutions should immediately leave these areas and not return until further notice. Your presence next to this infrastructure puts your life at risk,” Adraee stated on X (formerly Twitter).
The warning comes as Israel continues its air campaign against Iranian military targets for the third consecutive day. Precision strikes have reportedly hit Iran’s Ministry of Defense, air defense systems, key military installations, and sites linked to Iran’s nuclear development. Among the targets were several senior military figures and nuclear scientists, reflecting the depth and reach of the Israeli offensive.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed a willingness to de-escalate tensions—on one condition. “If the aggression stops, our responses will also stop,” Araghchi said, signaling a possible off-ramp if Israel halts its operations.
He also condemned the UN Security Council for what he described as its silence on Israel’s attacks, accusing the international body and Western governments of hypocrisy. “The Israeli assault is being met with indifference at the Security Council. Western governments have condemned Iran instead of Israel, despite it being the side that was violated,” Araghchi remarked.
Adding to the international drama, U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in on the conflict, denying American involvement in the strike on Iranian territory and offering to broker peace.

“The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before,” Trump warned via his Truth Social platform. “However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!” he added.
With diplomatic talks over Iran’s nuclear program now officially canceled, the hope for a peaceful resolution appears increasingly dim. As airstrikes continue and civilian casualties rise, the international community watches with growing concern over what could spiral into a broader regional conflict.
