President Trump Leaves G7 Early Amid Escalating Iran-Israel Conflict

President Trump made an unexpected early departure from the G7 summit in Canada to return to Washington, citing urgent developments in the Middle East. The president issued a stark social media warning late Sunday night, urging the 10 million residents of Tehran to evacuate immediately, though he did not elaborate on the reasoning.

Upon returning to the White House, the president convened the National Security Council in the Situation Room to assess whether to support Israel’s efforts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear capabilities or continue pushing for a diplomatic resolution.

While attending the G7, Trump stated, “Iran is not winning this war. They should talk immediately before it’s too late.” His remarks followed recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military and media infrastructure, including a dramatic attack broadcast live on Iranian state TV. Israel claims it now holds full air superiority and has inflicted damage on multiple nuclear sites.

In retaliation, Iran has vowed to increase its military responses, prompting fears of a broader regional conflict. Meanwhile, the U.S. is reportedly moving additional military assets into the region in anticipation of potential escalation.

Despite the rising tensions, G7 leaders issued a joint call for de-escalation, even as the situation remains volatile and unpredictable.
