Caitlyn Jenner, in Tel Aviv for the Pride Parade, faced escalating tensions as the event was cancelled due to security concerns after Iran's missile attacks.
Olympic gold medalist and transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner's visit to Tel Aviv for Pride took an unexpected turn as tensions escalated between Iran and Israel. Originally in the city as a guest of honour for Tel Aviv's LGBTQ Pride celebrations, her first time attending, Jenner's trip shifted from festive to tense following the last-minute cancellation of the parade due to security concerns.
As missile sirens echoed across Tel Aviv in the wake of Iran's retaliatory strikes, Jenner took shelter in a bomb shelter, where she was later photographed alongside an Israeli influencer, calmly raising a glass of wine. The image was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user Regev Gur.

Jenner herself took to social media to update her followers on the unfolding situation. Posting a photo of smoke trails and explosions lighting up the night sky, she wrote, ''Quiet' night in Tel Aviv. Pray for us all. We will prevail. I am happy to stand with Israel today, now more than ever."
In a later post, she confirmed taking cover once again, 'We are back in the shelters in Tel Aviv. This looks like it is the third wave of attack from Iran."

Jenner also gave an interview to a local television outlet, quoted by The Mirror, where she shared that she had spoken to her daughter Kylie Jenner amid the chaos. 'I spoke with my daughter Kylie, and she urged me to stay safe. I reassured her," she said, adding, 'Don't worry, I'll keep myself safe, and they'll take care of me."
The security crisis in Tel Aviv follows a major escalation between Iran and Israel. Late Friday, Iran launched a wave of ballistic missiles targeting Israeli cities, marking a significant retaliatory response to Israel's earlier airstrikes on key Iranian military infrastructure, including the Natanz nuclear site.
The ongoing hostilities come amid heightened tensions involving the U.S. and the stalled negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, fueling concerns of a broader regional conflict.
