Arak, Iran — The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have issued an immediate warning to all civilians and employees within the designated “red area” on the map in the cities of Arak and Khandab, Iran. According to the official IDF Farsi account, the Israeli military is currently conducting operations targeting Iran’s military infrastructure in these zones.
The warning, which has rapidly gained attention on social media and international news outlets, urges all residents to evacuate the area immediately for their safety. The statement reads:
“Dear citizens, for your safety and health, we ask that you leave the designated area on the map within the cities of Arak and Khandab as soon as possible. Your presence in this area puts your life at risk.”
Israeli Strikes Intensify on Iranian Military Sites
This latest communication is part of a broader escalation between Israel and Iran, following a series of strikes across Iran in recent days.
