The Israeli military has warned residents in part of Iran's capital to evacuate ahead of Israeli strikes.
The latest salvo comes after a weekend of escalating tit-for-tat attacks between Israel and Iran that raised fears of a wider, more dangerous regional war. Israel launched the attacks on Iran amid simmering tensions over Tehran's nuclear program.

Iran's nuclear program
Content: The Trump administration revived efforts to negotiate limits on Iran's uranium enrichment in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. But the indirect talks between American and Iranian diplomats have hit a stalemate.
The latest round of talks between the U.S. and Iran on the future of Tehran's nuclear program had been scheduled Sunday in Oman but were canceled after Israel's attack.
Iran said last Thursday that it had built and would activate a third nuclear enrichment facility. The announcement came less than two weeks after the IAEA censured Iran for failing to comply with nonproliferation obligations meant to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon. It was the first such censure in two decades.

'Iran is battling it out alone,' analyst says
Content: Russia will not likely come to Iran's aid, said Lina Khatib, a Middle East expert at the Chatham House think tank in London.
She pointed out that Russia did not help Iran last year when Israel destroyed Russian-supplied air defenses or when Iran's ally, former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, was ousted.
Russia is likely to limit its support for Iran to 'strongly worded statements' and will use the conflict to present itself as a mediator, Khatib told the AP.

What to know about the conflict between Israel and Iran
Content: Israel's blistering attack with warplanes and drones against Iran's nuclear and military structure has sparked an open conflict between the two long-time foes that threatens to spiral into a wider, more dangerous regional war.
Since Friday, Israeli strikes have killed more than 200 people in Iran, including top generals and scientists but also civilians. Iran has retaliated by launching hundreds of drones and missiles against Israel, some of which have penetrated Israel's vaunted aerial defense system, killing two dozen people so far.
The region is already on edge as Israel seeks to annihilate the Hamas militant group, an Iranian ally, in the Gaza Strip, where war still rages after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel.
