ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Monday issued a stark warning to Israeli civilians, urging them to evacuate Tel Aviv for their safety as regional tensions continue to intensify. The announcement, reported by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, marks a significant escalation in rhetoric as hostilities between Iran and Israel show no signs of abating.

In a related move, the IRGC called on Israeli media outlets, including Channels 14 and 12, to evacuate their premises due to what it described as imminent retaliatory strikes. Following the warning, Israeli media confirmed that staff at both channels had begun evacuating their offices.

The development came just hours after Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on Monday targeting Iran’s state-affiliated media organization, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). The strikes underscore the growing media and psychological dimensions of the confrontation, as both sides intensify their efforts on the military and information fronts.

This development follows a series of Israeli airstrikes conducted on June 13, during which more than 200 warplanes targeted military and nuclear sites across Tehran and other Iranian cities. Iranian media sources said the attacks killed several high-ranking military commanders and atomic scientists, with Israel allegedly focusing on disrupting key infrastructure, including state media facilities.

In response, Iran launched hundreds of missiles at Israeli targets on Sunday, signaling a significant escalation in its retaliation campaign and setting the stage for a potentially broader conflict.
