DONALD Trump has issued a chilling two-day deadline as he vows to bring a "real end" to Iran's nuclear programme - after urging Tehran to evacuate "everyone".
Israel's ambassador also hinted at something big on the horizon - promising lethal "surprises" on Thursday that would dwarf its operations to date.

As Trump rushed back meet his National Security Council, he vowed he was chasing something "better than a ceasefire", which will force Iran into a "complete give up".
He refused to specify the endgame, but ominously warned: "You're going to find out over the next two days."
Trump's prophecy coincides with one from the Israeli ambassador Yechiel Leiter, who said: "We've pulled off a number of surprises.
"When the dust settles, you're going to see some surprises on Thursday night and Friday that will make the beeper operation almost seem simple."
He was referring to Israel's incredible operation to detonate explosives planted in thousands of pagers owned by Hezbollah members in Lebanon.
Trump dramatically left Monday's G7 summit in Canada a day early - and has repeatedly insisted it was not to pursue peace talks with Iran "in any way, shape or form".
Israel and Iran continue to trade missiles for a fifth day, with Tehran's civilians fleeing the city in their thousands and a handful of casualties reported by Tel Aviv.
The IDF said it has killed Iran's most senior military commander - and the person closest to the Supreme Leader - for the second time in five days.
Iran claimed today it had hit the HQ of Israel's intelligence agency Mossad - though this has not been confirmed - and repeatedly warned of stepping up missile and drone attacks.
Israel reported this morning that around 30 missiles were involved in Iran's latest wave.

Monday saw a major escalation in the brewing conflict with Israel directly targeting an Iranian state TV studio which was on air at the time.
And damning satellite pictures have shown just how effective Israel's attacks have been since the conflict started on Friday.
Parts of Iran's nuclear infrastructure have been decimated by IDF jets who have hammered Iranian depots, HQs, and plants - turning the prized buildings into charred, burnt-out wrecks.
But experts still believe Israel hasn't yet delivered a fatal blow to Iran's program with the international atomic body saying some sites are yet to be damaged.
Israel now claims to have air superiority over the enemy which would allow it to methodically target any sites without the threat of having its jets shot down.
A US aircraft carrier also is barrelling towards the Middle East after President Trump warned the "full strength and might" of the military would be used if America was attacked.
The move piled more pressure on Iran's Ayatollah and comes as Iranians have been heard shouting "Death to Khamenei" - their supreme leader.
Some Tehran locals could be heard yelling for freedom as bombs fell around them, footage posted to social media showed.
Israel possibly may have widened its war goals to include overthrowing Khamenei, according to the Washington Post, as Netanyahu asserts that Iran is now "very weak".
Tension across the Middle East is now skyrocketing as the conflict threatens to spiral into a wider regional war after Pakistan called for the Islamic world to back Iran.
Islamabad even warned they will nuke Israel, a senior Iranian general claimed.
