The Israeli military has begun sending evacuation notices in Persian to Tehran residents living near military sites or nuclear power plants that are its main target.
The IDF warns it will attack sites it says are linked to Iran's nuclear program and that people should leave for their safety.
"The Iranian dictator is turning Tehran into Beirut and the people of Tehran into hostages for the survival of his regime," Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement.
A security source says Katz's directive to evacuate residents in Tehran is part of a plan to put pressure on Tehran by evacuating the population.
In a post on X, the IDF says it is sending the following message to residents of Tehran: "All individuals located in or near the country's weapons production facilities and related facilities should immediately leave these areas and report to the relevant authorities." (A2 Televizion)
