President Donald Trump urged Tehran’s 9.5 million residents to flee as tension between Iran and Israel builds. Trump is expected to hold urgent talks with his national security team.

WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump threatened Iran's supreme leader with assassination as he pushed Tehran to give up its nuclear enrichment program and air strikes continued over Iran and Israel.

Trump's evacuation comments in the early hours of Tuesday were reportedly followed by explosions and heavy air defence fire in Tehran. Iran launched two waves of missiles in response to the Israeli attacks, setting off air raid alerts in parts of central and northern Israel.

India's benchmark indexes fell on Tuesday as investors stayed on edge after U.S. President Donald Trump urged Iranians to evacuate Tehran, stoking fears of a broader regional conflict amid ongoing Israel-Iran hostilities.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, killing at least five people, while Israel claimed in the fourth day of the conflict that it had now achieved “aerial superiority” over Tehran and could fly over the Iranian capital without facing major threats.

Reports of the latest missile attacks on Israel circulated on Iranian state media hours after Israel said it had attacked a media building in Tehran.
