Israeli airstrikes hit Iran's state broadcaster in Tehran

The Swiss embassy in Tehran which protects the US interests in Iran, says it will remain closed until Sunday.

It did not provide further details.

The Islamic Republic is prepared for “a very major strike” following Israel’s “first act of aggression," the IRGC-affiliated Fars News reported.

Israeli Defense Minister issued an unclear threat following the evacuation notice from the IDF spokesperson to the residents of Tehran's District 3 which is home to Iran's state broadcaster.

"The Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappearing. Evacuation of nearby residents has begun," Katz said.

An Israeli military spokesperson on Monday issued an evacuation warning for a specified area in District 3 of Tehran, posting a map and message on social platform X urging “all individuals present” to leave the zone.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that if Israeli attacks persist, the Islamic Republic will respond with much harsher measures, during a phone call with the Sultan of Oman on Monday, according to Iran's official IRNA news agency.

“If the United States does not restrain the Zionist regime, Iran will be forced to deliver more painful responses,” IRNA quoted Pezeshkian as saying during the call.

“If aggression continues, much harsher responses await them,” he added.
