On Sunday, June 15th, Israel issued evacuation warnings to Iranian citizens residing near weapons production facilities in Tehran. This action followed a series of missile attacks exchanged between the two countries, which began on Friday.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz released a statement indicating the Israeli military's intention to target these sites. The statement declared a commitment to dismantling Iranian capabilities, specifically focusing on nuclear capabilities and weapons systems.
An Israeli military spokesperson further clarified the evacuation warnings via a post on X, available in both Arabic and Farsi. The warning encompassed all weapons factories and related support facilities within Iran.
The initial escalation on Friday saw Israel launch a significant military strike against Iran. The stated objective of this attack was to halt Iran's development of atomic weapons and to neutralize its ballistic missile capabilities. Iranian media subsequently reported an attack on a facility associated with the defense ministry in Isfahan, noting potential damage.

This sets a dangerous precedent for pre-emptive strikes. Next thing we know, everyone will be attacking each other.
