Is­rael ap­peared to be ex­pand­ing its air cam­paign against Tehran five days af­ter its sur­prise at­tack on Iran’s mil­i­tary and nu­clear pro­gram, as U.S. Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump post­ed an omi­nous mes­sage warn­ing res­i­dents of the cap­i­tal to evac­u­ate.

“IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NU­CLEAR WEAPON,” Trump wrote Mon­day night be­fore re­turn­ing to Wash­ing­ton ear­ly from a Group of Sev­en sum­mit in Cana­da. “Every­one should im­me­di­ate­ly evac­u­ate Tehran!” he added.

Trump lat­er de­nied he had rushed back to work on a cease­fire, telling re­porters on Air Force One dur­ing the flight back to Wash­ing­ton: “I’m not look­ing at a cease­fire. We’re look­ing at bet­ter than a cease­fire.”
