A rare daytime missile barrage on Tel Aviv forces millions into shelters as Israeli forces retaliate against Iran's missile-launching capabilities.

Trump earlier issued an ominous warning on Truth Social, saying “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” and adding “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” As the sun rose Tuesday on Iran, the downtown area of Tehran, the country’s capital, appeared to be beginning to empty out.
