Iran's leadership has shown the first sign of backing down in the face of a new wave of Israeli strikes across Tehran, with the relentless attacks forcing thousands of Iranians to flee the capital.
Iran has urgently signalled it is open to negotiations to end the hostilities so long as the US does not join Israel's attack on it, officials have reportedly told the Wall Street Journal.
But Israel has shown no sign of backing down, and earlier said that it has 'full aerial superiority' over Tehran and has destroyed around a third of Iran's missile stockpile in a four-day blitz of Iranian rocket launchers, military bases and cities.
The IDF issued evacuation orders covering a large part of Tehran for the first time on Monday afternoon, with footage showing blasts hitting various parts of the city and reports that a military base in the west had been hit.
