Tehran in Turmoil as Residents Flee Following Trump’s Urgent Warning

The streets of Tehran are rapidly emptying as residents heed an urgent warning from U.S. President Donald Trump, who called for the immediate evacuation  of the Iranian capital amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.  Trump’s statement, posted on his Truth Social platform, emphasized that “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon” and urged the city’s nearly 10 million residents to leave before it was “too late”.

Ukraine Claims Russian ICBM Strike on Dnipro

 

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian military officials have claimed that Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) targeting the city of Dnipro. This marks the first reported use of such a missile in the war that began in February 2022.

According to Ukraine’s air force, the missile was launched from Russia’s Astrakhan region, which borders the Caspian Sea. The attack included a barrage of eight missiles, six of which were intercepted by Ukrainian defenses. The claim has not been independently verified, and a U.S. official suggested that the missile used was not an ICBM but a different type of ballistic missile

The strike comes amid heightened tensions following Ukraine’s recent use of U.S.-made ATACMS missiles against targets within Russia. The Kremlin has responded by updating its nuclear doctrine, lowering the threshold for a potential nuclear response.

The situation remains fluid, with international observers closely monitoring the developments for further escalation.
