'Immediately evacuate weapons production factories': Israel issues fresh warning to Iran; new strike in the works?
Signaling towards a sharp escalation of hostilities, Israeli military on Sunday issued stark warning to Iranian citizens, asking them to immediately evacuate all weapons manufacturing facilities.
This comes amid series of overnight retaliatory attacks by Iran that killed 10 and left 180 injured in Israel.
"Urgent warning to all Iranian citizens: All persons who are currently or in the near future present in or around military weapons production factories and their support institutions should immediately leave these areas and not return until further notice. Your presence next to this infrastructure puts your life at risk," Col Avichay Adraee, a military spokesperson, said in a post on X.
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran was ready to de-escalate given Israel's offensive stops. 'If the aggression stops, our responses will also stop,' Araghchi said.
He further slammed the UN Security Council for its "indifference" towards Israel's aggression. He said that the Israeli attack was " being met with indifference at the Security Council", adding that Western governments have "condemned Iran instead of Israel despite it being the side that was violated".

This came after US President Donald Trump warned Iran against attacking the States, further offering to mediate in the Middle East crisis. "The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!" he said in a post on Truth Social.
Israel continued its airstrikes on Iran for a third consecutive day, warning of even more forceful action as some Iranian missiles penetrated Israeli defenses. Talks on Iran's nuclear program were canceled, eliminating a possible path to de-escalation.
Israeli strikes hit Iran's defense ministry following earlier attacks on air defense systems, military installations, and nuclear-related facilities. The precision strikes also targeted several top generals and nuclear scientists in Iran.

Gross miscalculation by Iran led to more deaths? Here's what officials are claiming
Shrey Banerjee Published 15 Jun 2025, 09:28 PM IST Israel Iran conflict: Senior Iranian officials make this claim Iran has lost a considerable number of lives in recent days amid its ongoing conflict with Israel, but the number could reportedly have been less if they had not made one big miscalculation, as per senior Iranian officials. According to a New York Times report, senior Iranian military officers who were interviewed said that they did not expect Israel to strike back so soon. They contemplated that Israel would wait for another round of talks that had been scheduled for this coming Sunday in Oman before making another move. However, this judgment error proved to be costly for them, with Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace unit, and his senior staff having to pay the price.
