Israel Tells Iranians Near Weapons Plants to Leave as Conflict Intensifies

Amid escalating tensions and continued missile exchanges that began on Friday, Israel on Sunday advised Iranian civilians residing near weapons manufacturing sites in Tehran to evacuate. 

The warning marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict between the two nations.

“The Israeli military will strike these sites and will continue to peel away the Iranian snake’s skin in Tehran and everywhere — targeting nuclear capabilities and weapons systems,” Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a statement.

Israel had earlier issued an evacuation warning to Iranians residing near weapons facilities in Iran, an Israeli military spokesperson said in a post on X in Arabic and Farsi.

The spokesperson said the warning included all weapons factories and supporting facilities.
