The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued an urgent warning early Thursday to residents of the Iranian cities of Arak and Khondab, advising them to evacuate immediately. The announcement comes amid escalating tensions between the two nations.
In a statement released in Farsi, the IDF cautioned residents to “evacuate immediately” ahead of potential strikes on military infrastructure. The warning highlighted areas including Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor, a significant site in the country’s nuclear program.
According to reports, the IDF shared satellite images indicating the designated areas. The regions marked are of strategic importance, raising concerns about possible military actions.
This development marks a significant escalation in the longstanding tensions between Israel and Iran, with potential implications for the broader region. Residents and officials in Arak and Khondab are now facing uncertainty as they respond to the IDF’s warning.
The international community is closely monitoring the situation, urging restraint and dialogue to prevent further escalation.
