President Donald Trump has made headlines by cutting short his trip to the G7 summit in Canada. This decision comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran. On Monday, Trump urged everyone in Tehran to "immediately evacuate" through a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.
During a photo opportunity with other world leaders, Trump expressed the urgency of returning home. "You probably see what I see. And I have to be back as soon as I can," he stated. His comments reflect a growing concern over the situation in Iran, which has recently faced significant military pressure.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was also attending the G7, will also return early. The White House confirmed that Trump’s change of plans is directly related to the escalating conflict in the region.
Reports indicate that the U.S. is not planning to strike Iran but is maintaining a defensive posture. Trump has asked his National Security Council to prepare for his return, signaling that he is closely monitoring the situation.
In the wake of Trump’s evacuation message, videos purportedly showing Iranians leaving Tehran have surfaced on social media. This development highlights the anxiety surrounding the ongoing conflict.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth emphasized that the U.S. remains strong and is focused on ensuring safety in the region. He stated, "Our job is to be strong. We are postured defensively in the region to be strong in pursuit of a peace deal."
The situation remains fluid, with many watching to see how Iran will respond to the pressure and whether diplomatic solutions can be reached.
