Israel expanded their air campaign on Tehran as President Donald Trump warned residents of the city to evacuate on Monday.
Iran missile attacks on Israel kill 5, while Israel claims it controls the skies over TehranThis comes five days after Israel's surprise attack on Iran's military and nuclear program. Trump previously tried to strike a deal with Iran in an attempt to restrict their nuclear activities — now, Israeli officials say the possibility of Iran having nuclear capabilities poses an existential threat to Israel.
Before the president's swift departure from the Group of Seven summit in Canada, he said “Iran basically is at the negotiating table where they want to make a deal. And as soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something.”
The strikes in Iran have killed at least 224 people while wounding over 1,200 since Friday. Iran has retaliated and launched more than 370 missiles at Israel, killing 24 and wounding over 500. On Tuesday, explosions could be heard in northern Israel.
