The Pentagon has confirmed the deployment of additional \u201cdefensive capabilities\u201d to the Middle East<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong> US President Donald Trump has issued a cryptic warning on Truth Social, urging \u201ceveryone\u201d<\/em> to leave the Iranian capital as soon as possible, without confirming whether Washington will intervene in the ongoing tit-for-tat hostilities between Israel and Iran.<\/p>\n

The two states have been exchanging strikes since West Jerusalem bombed Iranian nuclear and military facilities last Friday, describing the move as a preemptive effort to halt Tehran\u2019s alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons. Israel has also targeted civilian areas, causing casualties, and struck Iran\u2019s state broadcaster on Monday. Iran, which denies seeking a military nuclear capability, said the airstrikes amounted to a declaration of war and retaliated with multiple volleys of ballistic missiles aimed at Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran should have signed the \u2018deal\u2019 I told them to sign. Such a shame and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again!\u201d<\/em> Trump wrote on Monday evening, as the conflict entered its fifth day.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone needs to evacuate Tehran immediately!\u201d<\/em> the US leader added, without elaborating on where the city\u2019s roughly 10 million residents should go.<\/p>\n

Trump earlier insisted that the US \u201chad nothing to do with the attack on Iran\u201d<\/em> but warned Tehran of\u00a0retaliation<\/a>\u00a0\u201cat levels never seen before\u201d<\/em> if it targets American assets in the region. He declined to clarify what might trigger US military involvement, telling reporters on Monday: \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk about that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the deployment of additional \u201cdefensive capabilities\u201d<\/em> to the Middle East, without disclosing which military assets were sent over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtecting US forces is our top priority, and these deployments are intended to enhance our defensive posture in the region,\u201d<\/em> Hegseth posted on X.<\/p>\n

According to Military Watch Magazine, the US has reportedly sent more than 30 aerial refueling tankers across the Atlantic toward the Middle East. The outlet described the buildup as \u201cunprecedented,\u201d<\/em> suggesting it could signal broader US involvement in the Israeli-Iranian conflict.<\/p>\n

Israel has reportedly asked the US to participate directly in strikes on Iran. The Israeli Air Force lacks the bunker-buster bombs required to destroy Iran\u2019s heavily fortified underground nuclear sites, but Washington could supply them, Axios reported Saturday, citing Israeli officials.<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to rule out an attempt to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, telling ABC News on Monday: \u201cIt\u2019s going to end the conflict.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Tehran has repeatedly stated that its nuclear program is peaceful and has accused Israel of undermining diplomatic efforts with the US.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran did NOT begin this war and has no interest in perpetuating bloodshed. But we will proudly fight to the last drop of blood to protect our land,\u201d<\/em> Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X on Monday. He warned that \u201cgetting the US mired in the Mother of Forever Wars\u201d<\/em> would destroy any chance of a diplomatic solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
