WTF is trump playing now? [View all]

Trump says everyone in Iran's capital must immediately evacuate

US President Donald Trump has urged everyone to immediately evacuate Iran's capital, Tehran.

In a post on Truth Social, he reiterated Iran should have signed a nuclear deal with the United States.

"Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign," he said in the post.

"What a shame, and waste of human life.

"Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.

"I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!"
