Israel warns Iranians near weapons facilities to leave
Israel is warning Iranians living near weapons production facilities in Tehran to evacuate as the two nations continue to exchange missile attacks.
"The Israeli military will strike these sites and will continue to peel away the Iranian snake's skin in Tehran and everywhere - targeting nuclear capabilities and weapons systems," Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a statement on Sunday.
Israel had earlier issued an evacuation warning to Iranians residing near weapons facilities in Iran, an Israeli military spokesperson said in a post on X in Arabic and Farsi.
The spokesperson said the warning included all weapons factories and supporting facilities.
Israel launched its biggest military strike against Iran on Friday, saying its goal was to stop Iran from developing atomic weapons and to take out Iran's ballistic missile capabilities.

Latest posts Latest posts 5.23am G7 leaders will seek de-escalation: Starmer British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will work with other G7 leaders at a summit in Canada this week 'to encourage de-escalation' between Israel and Iran. On Sunday, Britain changed its travel advice, telling UK nationals not to travel to Israel. With the crisis due to dominate the G7 summit in Alberta, Starmer's spokesman Tom Wells said Britain believes 'the only route to peace is through diplomacy.' French President Emmanuel Macron also called for 'de-escalation'. 'We continue to call for de-escalation and for talks to resume,' Macron said on Sunday in Nuuk, Greenland's capital. Macron spoke with both US President Donald Trump and Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday. He said G7 leaders would aim 'to prevent any escalation in Iran's acquisition of nuclear capability and to avoid any kind of conflagration in the region.' 5.23am Iran's president criticises US, Western nations for supporting Israel Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian criticised the United States and some Western countries for supporting Israel's attacks on Iran. He said that if Israeli attacks continue, Iran's responses 'will be more decisive and severe.' Pezeshkian said that Israel 'is not capable of any action without the permission of the US' and that 'what we are witnessing today is being done with the direct support of Washington.' In a report carried on state TV, Pezeshkian said that Iran has never sought war and conflict. 'However, just as our armed forces, including the powerful army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard, have so far provided appropriate and firm responses, in case of continued hostile actions, the responses will be more decisive and severe,' he said. 5.23am Erdogan, Trump discuss the crisis in the Middle East Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke with US President Donald Trump about the Israel-Iran conflict for the second time in as many days on Sunday, Erdogan's office said. The Turkish leader 'emphasised that immediate action must be taken to prevent a disaster that could throw the entire region into flames,' according to a statement posted on X. He also welcomed Trump's statements on ending the attacks and establishing peace. Erdogan offered to facilitate diplomatic efforts amid 'irreversible economic and civilian damage to both sides'. 5.23am Welcome to our live coverage Hello and welcome to our ongoing coverage of the volatile situation in the Middle East. Here is where we're at as we start the day: Israel and Iran launched fresh attacks on each other over the weekend, killing scores of people and raising fears of a wider conflict. The escalation followed Israel's surprise bombardment of Iran's nuclear and military sites on Friday. That initial attack killed several top Iranian generals and nuclear scientists. US President Donald Trump endorsed the Israeli action, threatening Iran with further attacks if it did not sign up to a new nuclear deal. Talks on Iran's nuclear program had been scheduled for Sunday, but they were called off after hostilities broke out. Israeli Prime Minister told Fox News overnight that regime change in Iran could be the end result of his country's military attacks. He said Israel would do whatever was necessary to remove what he claimed was an 'existential threat' posed by Tehran. Until now, Israel's military has said the goal of the campaign was not regime change but the dismantling of Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Asked about a report that Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Netanyahu said: 'I'm not going to get into that.' In Israel, at least 10 people were killed in Iranian strikes on Saturday night and into Sunday, according to local rescue services, bringing the country's total death toll to 13. In Iran, Israeli strikes have killed at least 406 people and wounded another 654, according to Washington-based Human Rights Activists.
