TEHRAN — The Iranian capital Tehran, home to around 10 million people and one of the biggest cities in the Middle East, has seen a mass exodus as the conflict with Israel intensifies.Early on Tuesday, the city's bustling downtown began to empty, with many shops closed and the historic Grand Bazaar shuttered, something that had not occurred since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.A partial evacuation order from the Israeli military was issued to 330,000 people living in the centre of Tehran early on Monday. However, many had already begun to flee following attacks at the weekend.Traffic jams stretched for kilometers on roads leading out of the city, with many heading toward the Caspian Sea region.Long lines also formed at gas stations as residents scrambled to get fuel, with limits on...

GAZA — The young girl sits on the dusty floor, clutching her father’s shoe close to her chest as she cries and screams in anger. Bisan Qwaider is inconsolable. Her father has just been killed while trying to get food for her and her 10 hungry siblings.Khaled Sha’ath, the photojournalist who captured the scene of Qwaider’s grief on Sunday, told CNN that Bisan’s father, Shadi, had left the family’s tent in Mawassi, in southern Gaza, a few days earlier for Ma’an, just east of Khan Younis.Shadi knew travel to the area was dangerous: Ma’an had been under an Israeli evacuation order for some time and has come under Israeli bombardment. But, despite the risk, his children were hungry and he believed he could get some food there for them.Gaza is facing a hunger crisis. A UN-backed...

CALGARY, Alberta — US President Donald Trump departed the Group of Seven – or G7 – summit being held in a resort town in the Canadian Rockies on Monday night due to the intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran and growing regional instability in the Middle East.World leaders at the summit scrambled to find a way to contain the five-day-old conflict that has taken the lives of dozens of people across Israel and Iran.Earlier, Trump had warned that Tehran needs to dismantle its nuclear program before it’s “too late”.The US president said Iranian leaders would “like to talk” but they had already had 60 days to reach an agreement on their nuclear ambitions and failed to do so before an Israeli aerial assault began four days ago. “They have to make a deal,” he...

Centrifuges at Iran's Natanz site likely destroyed, nuclear watchdog says
VIENNA — Centrifuges at Iran's underground uranium enrichment plant at Natanz were likely to have been "severely damaged if not destroyed altogether" following Israeli strikes on Friday, the head of the global nuclear watchdog has told the BBC.Rafael Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency said this was a result of power cuts caused by the attack, in which an above-ground plant was "completely destroyed".The damage was likely caused despite the underground hall housing the centrifuges — machines that enrich uranium — not being directly hit, he added.He said four buildings were also damaged at the Isfahan nuclear site but no damage was visible at the underground Fordo enrichment plant.Israel said it attacked the sites and killed nine Iranian nuclear...
