President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Monday evening calling for the immediate evacuation of Tehran. He stated that Iran “should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign,” and described the outcome as a “waste of human life.” The post comes amid heightened regional tensions, though no official statement or action accompanied it.

Trump had repeated that “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” emphasizing that he had made this point “over and over again.” He referred to a previous deal that had been on the table, suggesting that Iran’s refusal to accept it had led directly to the current situation. No details were offered about the nature of the deal or when it had been proposed.

The post was published at 4:30 p.m. Eastern and quickly drew attention online. It made no mention of any planned military action or specific threat. As of now, no clarification or follow-up statement has been released.
