| sundin13 said: Feels like we're on the cusp of going to war. Trump warns Iranians to evacuate Tehran, leaves the G7 conference and then convenes in the Situation Room. I feel like Israel doesn't really need the help, as they seem to clearly have stronger offensive and defensive capabilities, but I could see Trump trying to capitalize on the situation and try to finish the job... |
10 out of the 90 million Iranians live in Theran. You can't just evacuate 10 million people.
Iran is also 74x larger than Israel, this is not like bringing Hezbollah down. The US couldn't even stop the Houthis in Yemen...
Hopefully someone talks some sense into Trump as further escalating this conflict while have dire consequences for the entire world.
Trump’s Tehran ‘evacuation’ warning ‘extremely troubling’: Analyst
Matthew Duss, the executive vice president of the Washington, DC-based Center for International Policy think tank, said that Trump’s warning that Tehran’s entire population should evacuate the city was “frankly terrifying”.
“This is a metropolitan area of over 15 million people. Evacuating a city of that size is impossible, even before you consider the fact that people don’t have access to gasoline. They would have to be fleeing on foot,”
“But, unfortunately, it’s hard to know how seriously to take what Donald Trump says… But still, this kind of language from a president of the United States is extremely troubling. We should all be concerned,” he said.
Trump had earlier written in a post on his Truth Social platform: “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”
