Earlier this week (Iran time), the Israeli army issued an evacuation order to the residents of several neighborhoods of Tehran: 500,000 Teherani received the order to leave their homes or be caught under a brainstorm. At night, Israel launched a new aerial offensive, led by some sixty combat planes.

A few hours later, Donald Trump also urged residents to leave the city, who was already bombarded by Israeli planes. In a publication in his own social network, Truth Social, the leader of American imperialism declared a threat: “Iran should have accepted the ‘agreement’ that I asked them to sign. What a shame and what waste of human lives. In summary, Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. I have said it again and again. Everyone must evacuate Tehran immediately.”
Far from Israeli-American war propaganda that Iran is just a few weeks after having a bomb-a threat proclaimed repeatedly by Israeli leaders for 30 years-CNN revealed that US intelligence estimates that it would take several more years to develop such capacity. Beyond the nuclear problem, these evacuation orders make fear the worst for the millions of city residents, which is suffering an unprecedented campaign of bombing and hybrid attacks.
Israeli defense minister, Israel Katz, directly threatened the city’s residents on Monday morning in an X publication: “The arrogant Tehran dictator has become a cowardly murderer who shoots against Israel to deter the Israeli army from continuing the attack that is destroying their capabilities. The people of Tehran will pay the price and soon”. The representative of a State who is subjecting the Gazatà population to a genocide, now using hunger as a weapon, talks about cowardly murderers.
From the first attacks on the afternoon of June 13, Israel has attacked the city more than 300 times. Far from attacking only military infrastructure, Israel has bombarded buildings, residential neighborhoods, local television stations, as well as airport and various energy infrastructure, such as refineries and gas deposits, according to the Washington Post. In addition, several bomb cars suggest that Israeli intelligence services operate within the country to sow chaos and attack regime officials.
In a provisional report published this last Monday by the Iranian Ministry of Health, Israeli attacks have already left 224 dead and 1,481 injured
The images that come to Tehran remind those of the South Suburbs of Beirut and make Israel fear that it is once again implementing their doctrine “Dahiya”, according to which civil infrastructure and residential areas are priority objectives to deter its enemies. While the colonial regime annihilates the Palestinian people in Gaza, it is feared to make Tehran in another martyr city, after Beirut or Gaza, in their destructive campaign to submit Iran under their yoke and that of imperialism. For his part, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei published a message stating that Iran will give a “strong message to the Zionist regime”, after which several missiles fell into Tel a Viv.
Netanyahu called the Iranians to get up against a “Evil and oppressive regime” (Regime hated by the Iranian masses, the uprisings of recent years realize that). However, the objective of the Israeli prime minister is not to free the population from this theocratic and reactionary regime, characteristics that he shares with the state of Israel, but to ensure that they will stop being a sovereign state and become again a puppet of the imperialist powers.
It is urgent to mobilize to end Israeli aggression and the threats of American imperialism. defending the Iranian nation attacked and redouble the efforts against genocide in Gaza, while imperialist powers silence their timid critics and reaffirm their unconditional support in the massacres perpetrated by Israel.
