 On Sunday afternoon, the Iranian capital Tehran was hit hard by a barrage of airstrikes by the Israeli Air Force, continuing a campaign that has been going on for several days to target Iran's nuclear program and military industrial installations. 


An extraordinary evacuation notice was given by the Israeli military, encouraging Iranian residents to flee areas surrounding weapons manufacturing centres, just hours before the strikes, according to The Times of Israel. 


Anyone in the vicinity of military installations is strongly encouraged to leave "immediately" in response to a warning from the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) posted in Persian and Arabic on X (formerly Twitter). 


Colonel Avichay Adraee, an IDF spokesman who spoke Arabic, issued a command to "evacuate these areas and not return until further notice" to anyone found or anticipated to be in or near military weapons manufacturing facilities or the institutions that support them. 


The spokesperson for the IDF in Persian, Master Sgt. (res.) Kamal Penhasi, conveyed a similar statement. Reports indicate that the strikes on Sunday not only hit the capital of Iran, but also other military locations in the city of Shiraz in the south of the country. 


Tensions have been increasing over Iran's nuclear aspirations and its backing for regional militant organisations opposed to Israel, and the Israeli Defence Forces' (IDF) ongoing operation marks the third day of Israeli attacks on Iranian territory.

 Newsom and California confront Trump with a potential blueprint for Democrats  Allies and opponents agree how Newsom handles the protests – including Trump’s calling in the National Guard and sending in active-duty Marines over the governor’s objections – will reverberate far beyond California, and long after this week. videos That’s how Newsom is approaching what has become a fight on the streets and in the courts, only a few days after he was responding to a Trump administration effort to identify federal grants going to the state that can be canceled. Other Democratic governors have been calling Newsom, checking in, ticking through scenarios in their minds of how what’s happened in California could play out at home for them, according to multiple people briefed on the conversations.

  President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to end federal funding for America’s two biggest public broadcasters, which have faced a series of attacks from   the White House and Republican lawmakers accusing them of biased reporting. The order  instructs the CPB’s board to terminate direct funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service to the “maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding.” It also orders the board to take steps to “minimize or eliminate” indirect funding to NPR and PBS. The corporation, however, is a private entity that is supposed to be protected from government interference, including executive orders from the president. The corporation is currently suing Trump because the White House tried to terminate three of its board members earlier this week. “CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President’s authority,” the corporat...
