Israel Says It Killed a Top Iranian General as Trump Warns People to Flee Iranian Capital
- Israel escalated its military conflict by reportedly killing Iran's top general Ali Shadmani today in Tehran while continuing airstrikes against Iranian sites.
- This escalation follows a period of sustained Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, including the Natanz underground uranium enrichment plant, aiming to delay Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
- United Nations nuclear chief Rafael Grossi confirmed that airstrikes caused direct damage to Natanz's underground centrifuge operations, while Iran responded with missile barrages that have recently decreased in intensity.
- U.S. President Donald Trump demanded Iran's unconditional surrender, urged Tehran residents to evacuate for their safety, and stated he seeks 'something better than a ceasefire' to end the conflict.
- The ongoing strikes have resulted in significant casualties, with Iran reporting 224 deaths and Israel 24, while regional tensions and international calls for de-escalation continue amid uncertain prospects for diplomacy.
