Israel pounded Iran for a fifth day in an air campaign against its longstanding foe’s military and nuclear program, as U.S. President Donald Trump warned residents of Tehran to evacuate and suggested the United States was working on something “better than a ceasefire.

Israeli officials also called for those in Tehran to evacuate earlier Monday ahead of its continued military campaign against Iran.

Previous presidents have also "cut short trips to the G7," The Washington Post said, but Trump's abrupt departure "came in a far more ominous context as the United States expands its military presence in the Middle East," sending over the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and more than two dozen tanker planes.
