The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have issued evacuation warnings for two Iranian villages ahead of planned strikes on military infrastructure, according to reports from AFP and Reuters.

In a message posted on Telegram in Arabic and Farsi, the IDF urged residents, workers, and others present in the villages of Arak and Khondab to evacuate immediately.

The statement warned that the IDF would target military sites belonging to the Iranian regime.

Meanwhile, US authorities are preparing a possible attack on Iran in the coming days, possibly this weekend, Bloomberg news agency reports, citing sources.

President Donald Trump told reporters Wednesday that he has not decided whether the United States will get involved in the war or not. Trump said he likes to make crucial decisions at the last second, because things change.
