In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, US President Donald Trump says that "everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran", APA reports.
His comments come after Israeli officials advised residents to evacuate parts of north-eastern Tehran earlier today, saying it planned to target "military infrastructure".
In his post, Trump adds that Iran should have signed the deal that he put forward to them in the most recent round of US-Iran nuclear talks.
"Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON," he writes. "I said it over and over again!
"Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!"
