As the Iran-Israel conflict escalates, Trump leaves the G7 summit early to return home to deal with it

🔥 Geopolitical conflicts disrupt the global diplomatic agenda

The most notable event at the G7 summit in Canada was not trade talks or climate announcements but the sudden and early departure of US President Donald Trump , who the White House said had to return to Washington urgently to deal with the escalating military conflict between Iran and Israel.

"For obvious reasons, I have to return home early," Trump said briefly during a photo op. He was originally scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mexican President Emmanuel Sheinbaum.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that "additional forces" had been deployed to the Middle East to strengthen the Pentagon's "defense posture" in the region. Despite this, Washington denied that it would participate in Israel's offensive operations against Iran.

US Washington’s trends and military calculations

Although the White House emphasized that Trump achieved "fruitful results" during the summit, his departure midway this time showed that the US attaches great importance to the situation in the Middle East.

Iran reported that the Israeli airstrikes had killed at least 224 people , including several senior military commanders and nuclear scientists, while the Israeli government said 24 people were killed in the country , mainly due to Iranian missile attacks on cities including Tel Aviv.

"Iran can never have a nuclear weapon," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, calling on the citizens of Tehran to "evacuate immediately," causing public unrest.

💣 From Tehran to Tel Aviv: The Fifth Night in Fire

Shortly after Trump posted his message, Iranian media reported explosions over Tehran, intensive anti-aircraft fire, and some missiles were intercepted. Just hours earlier, Israeli warplanes carried out a precision strike on Iran's national broadcaster, causing an anchor to flee in panic during a live broadcast.

In Israel, air raid sirens sounded again in Tel Aviv , which faced the threat of Iranian missiles for the fifth consecutive night. Although Israel claimed to have "complete control over Iranian airspace", it failed to destroy its deep nuclear facilities.

Military analysis points out that only the United States has bunker-buster bombs and long-range bombers capable of penetrating underground nuclear facilities such as Fordow .

🕊️ G7 leaders have different attitudes

Trump's early departure also caused a shock at the diplomatic level. Although French President Macron expressed his understanding, "If the United States can promote a ceasefire, it will be a good thing." But he refused to comment on Trump's reluctance to sign the meeting statement.

The draft statement originally called for "immediate de-escalation of the conflict" and urged all parties to "avoid harming civilians."

In addition, Trump once again criticized the decision to expel Russia from the G8, calling it "a big mistake." He said: "Putin will talk to me and no one else."

Despite this, Mr Trump managed to sign a tariff deal with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who claimed British goods would be "well protected into the future".

🎯 What happens next?

At present, although Israel has caused heavy casualties in Iran, it has failed to stop its nuclear program. Iran has also demonstrated its ability to continue to fight back. If the United States participates in the operation, it will completely change the scale and nature of the war .

The world holds its breath, waiting for the next step.
