Trump seeks complete end to Iran nuclear program

Javad Emam, spokesperson for Iran’s Reformist Front, said, "The Islamic Republic establishment and Iran are intertwined; any harm to the system will also strike Iran."

He added, "It is impossible to be under Israeli attacks supported by the US on one side, and at the same time sit at the negotiating table."

Long queues of vehicles were seen on roads leading out of Tehran on Monday night, as residents fled the Iranian capital amid intensifying conflict with Israel.

Footage circulating on social media showed heavy traffic on the Karaj-Chalus road, a key westbound route out of the city.

The exodus follows a warning from former US President Donald Trump, who urged Tehran residents to evacuate, signaling potential large-scale attacks.

Three people were killed in an Israeli strike on a security checkpoint in the city of Kashan, a deputy governor of Iran’s Isfahan province said on Tuesday.

The checkpoint, operated by Iranian security forces, was part of increased internal control measures following the escalation in hostilities between Iran and Israel.

The official did not provide further details on the identities of the victims or the extent of the damage.

Israeli warplanes targeted an active command center in central Tehran overnight, killing Ali Shadmani, the newly appointed head of Iran’s Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, the Israeli military said on Tuesday.

Shadmani, a senior Iranian military figure, was appointed just four days ago to replace Gholamali Rashid who got killed on Friday.

The IDF said the strike was based on precise intelligence and described Shadmani as a key figure in directing Iran’s military operations against Israel.

A missile struck a bus parking lot in Israel’s Dan District, causing a fire but no reported injuries, Israeli emergency services said.

Following earlier sirens, Magen David Adom teams -- Israel's national emergency service -- were dispatched to search affected areas. Firefighters are responding at multiple scenes. A bus in a town north of Tel Aviv also sustained a direct hit.

Around 30 missiles were fired from Iran on Tuesday morning, with several impact sites reported in central Israel, according to Israel’s N12 news outlet.
