We have serious news this evening. Events are moving rapidly in the Middle East, and it is shaping up to be a long, volatile night. Here's what we know so far—and why this could be the most dangerous geopolitical flashpoint in years. I am going to be providing you with wall-to-wall coverage all night.

In a jarring social media post just after 6 PM Eastern, President Donald Trump posted:
“Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.”
The U.S. Secretary of State retweeted the post without additional comment. Minutes later, the White House itself shared the same message with an official banner headline:
"Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran."
According to a senior White House official who spoke with CNN, this message "reflects the urgency of the need for Iran to come to the negotiating table." But it also appears to signal something much more imminent.
In addition, multiple outlets are now confirming that Trump will be leaving the G7 summit early.
For weeks, intelligence analysts warned that Iran may be on the threshold of producing weapons-grade uranium. With Donald Trump’s explicit warning and the movement of U.S. forces over the past 24 hours, it seems increasingly possible that the U.S. will join Israel in direct military operations.
I am monitoring several key signals tonight:
Whether the Pentagon confirms that the United States will get involved.
Iran’s response, including any attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Diplomatic efforts from European allies trying to de-escalate.
Expect rapid developments in the next 6–12 hours. Stay with me.
