Israel continued his air campaign in Tehran five days after his surprise attack on the Iranian military and nuclear program because his soldiers claimed to have killed someone whom he described as a new leading general in a strike.
Iran did not immediately comment on the reported murder of General Ali Shadmani, who had just been appointed head of the central seat of Khatam al-Anbiya, who is part of the paramilitary revolutionary goalkeeper.
Israeli military officials also said that fighter planes had struck 10 command centers in Tehran belonging to Iranian Quds force, an elite arm of his paramilitary revolution goalkeeper who leads military and intelligence operations outside Iran.
Earlier, the Israeli army had asked some 330,000 inhabitants in a downtown Tehran district to evacuate. Tehran is one of the largest cities in the Middle East, with around 10 million people, almost equivalent to the entire population of Israel. People have been fleeing since the start of hostilities.
Look at some Iranians run away to Turkey:
The inhabitants of Panicked Tehran tried to flee the city after warnings from Israel from more Iranian air strikes and missiles have managed to go through Israel’s defense systems.
Israel says that its radical assault against the main Iranian military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment sites and the ballistic missile program is necessary to prevent its longtime opponent from getting closer to an atomic weapon.
The strikes have killed at least 224 people and injured more than 1,200 since Friday, according to Iranian officials, although external groups think that it could be a sub-account.
The soldiers of Israel killed a handful of senior Iranian military leaders during his attack at the end of last week and boasted on Monday that he “reached a complete air superiority over the sky of Tehran”.
Iran retaliated by launching more than 370 missiles and hundreds of drones in Israel. So far, 24 people have been killed in Israel and more than 500 injured. The Israeli army said that a new missile dam had been launched on Tuesday and explosions could be heard in northern Israel.

Front burner33:27Israel-Iran Strikes: What comes next?
We are not “in the atmosphere of negotiating,” says Trump
The climbing of hostilities between the two competitors is one of the urgent questions for the leaders of the G7 summit which currently takes place in Kananaskis, in Alta. The leaders made a statement on the conflict on Monday.
“We, the leaders of the G7, repeat our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East,” he read. “In this context, we affirm that Israel has the right to defend ourselves. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel. We also affirm the importance of the protection of civilians.”
President Donald Trump left the G7 summit earlier than expected, the press secretary of the White House citing “what is happening in the Middle East” as a reason.
French president Emmanuel Macron told journalists that discussions were underway on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, but Trump seemed to abandon him in an article on social networks overnight.
Trump said in a later article that his departure “had nothing to do with a cease-fire”.
“Much bigger than that,” he wrote without developing.
When Israel began her strikes at the end of last week, the Trump administration has struggled to insist that she did not participate, although she admitted that she had helped defend the counterattacks of Iran.
The United States was preparing for a sixth round of talks with Iran on a nuclear agreement at the time. During his night flight to Washington from Canada, Trump suggested that he was now less interested in talking with them.
“They should have concluded the agreement. I said to them: agreeing,” said Trump. “So I don’t know. I’m not too much mood to negotiate.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli strikes brought the Iran’s nuclear program in contact with very, a very long time, and told journalists that he was in contact with Trump daily.
Iranian underground site out of reach
The Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi seemed to make a veiled plea on Monday in the United States to intervene and negotiate the end of hostilities between Israel and Iran.
In an article on X, Araghchi wrote that if Trump is “authentic on diplomacy and interested in arresting this war, the next steps are consecutive”.
“You need a phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu,” wrote the best Iranian diplomat. “This can open the way to a return to diplomacy.”
Look at the explanatory operation of Israel Rising Lion:
Israel and Iran have exchanged attacks after Israel has targeted military officials and nuclear facilities. Andrew Chang explains how Israel’s operations changed the playing state. Then, inside the deep secret strike of Ukraine against the Russian bombers.
Iran maintains that its nuclear program is peaceful, and the United States and others have evaluated that Tehran has not had any efforts to continue a nuclear weapon since 2003.
So far, Israel has targeted several Iranian nuclear programs sites, but has not been able to destroy the installation of the enrichment of Iranian uranium uranium.
The site is buried deep underground, and to eliminate it, Israel may need the massive penetrator GBU-57 GBU-57, an American bunker bomb which uses its weight and its pure kinetic strength to reach deeply buried targets. Israel does not have the ammunition or the bomber necessary to deliver it; It is currently delivered by the stealth bomber B-2.
Meanwhile, downtown Tehran seemed to be emphasized early on Tuesday, with many closed stores. The former big bazaar in the city has also been closed – something that has only happened in the past during antigenmental demonstrations or at the top of the coronavirus pandemic.
On the roads outside Tehran to the west, traffic was held at a bumper. Many seemed to go to the Caspian Sea area, while long lines could also be observed in the service stations in Tehran.
