President Donald Trump urged Tehran’s 9.5 million residents to flee as tension between Iran and Israel builds. Trump is expected to hold urgent talks with his national security team.

President Trump said early Tuesday morning that he wants "a real end" to Iran's nuclear problem, with Tehran "giving up entirely" its enrichment activities. He said he was not just working toward a ceasefire to end the war between Iran and Israel,

He refutes French President Macron's comments that he's returning to the US to work on a truce, after earlier telling people in Tehran to evacuate.

Tehran faces the prospect of having to submit to a tougher negotiation on its nuclear program as its only way out of its confrontation with Israel.

President Trump rejected an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a senior U.S. official told USA TODAY.
