Iran-Israel latest: Trump offers ceasefire talks after warning everyone should ‘immediately evacuate Tehran'
Donald Trump has made an offer to negotiate a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, French president Emmanuel Macron said, while the US says it still hopes for a nuclear deal with Tehran. "There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange. An offer was made especially to get a ceasefire and to then kick-start broader discussions," Mr Macron told reporters at the G7. Mr Trump's team was discussing with Iran the possibility of a meeting this week between envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, Axios reported. Mr Macron's statement comes after Mr Trump departed the G7 summit in Canada a day early after warning Tehran's residents to 'immediately evacuate' and claiming Iran 'should have signed the deal' he offered. Iran has denied allegations that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons and says its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes. Since Israel began striking Iran on Friday morning, the exchange of fire has seen more than 200 people killed in Iran and more than 20 in Israel, their respective authorities have reported. UK maritime firm says it is aware of incident east of UAE British maritime security firm Ambrey said this morning that it was aware of an incident 22 nautical miles east of Khor Fakkan in the United Arab Emirates, near the Strait of Hormuz, as Israel and Iran attack each other for a fifth straight day. The firm, however, did not elaborate on the incident. The Strait lies between Oman and Iran and links the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond. About a fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes through the strait. Between the start of 2022 and last month, roughly 17.8 million to 20.8 million barrels of crude, condensate and fuels flowed through the strait daily, according to data from Vortexa.

‘Evacuate Tehran' – Trump issues warning as he departs G7 leaders summit early
US President Donald Trump has warned 'everyone should evacuate Tehran' as it was announced he would be departing the G7 leaders' summit early due to the situation in the Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Iran has been top of the agenda at the summit of wealthy democracies, taking place in Canada. In a post on Truth Social on Monday, Mr Trump criticised Iran for refusing to agree to a nuclear deal with his administration. 'What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,' he wrote. 'I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!' He later added: 'AMERICA FIRST means many GREAT things, including the fact that, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!' A new round of nuclear talks scheduled for the weekend between the US and Iran were cancelled after Israel's missile strikes. Later on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X that Mr Trump would be leaving the summit early, following a dinner with heads of state. 'Much was accomplished, but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State,' she said. Downing Street declined to comment on Mr Trump's early exit. Iran said at least 224 people had been killed in the country since strikes began on Friday, while Israeli officials said 24 people had been killed and more than 500 injured. The back-and-forth between Israel and Iran has raised concerns about all-out war between the rival nations. The latest conflict kicked off on Friday, when Israel launched an attack on top Iranian military leaders and the country's nuclear programme. Iran retaliated by firing waves of missiles at Israel. It comes after Sir Keir Starmer urged British nationals in Israel to register their presence there as countries step up efforts to bring back stranded citizens. The Foreign Office has advised against all travel to Israel, but Britons already in the country now face difficulties getting home, with the airspace closed due to the conflict with Iran. The Prime Minister said the UK was issuing advice for British citizens in Israel to register their presence. 'All of us are giving advice to our citizens for British nationals in Israel, we're giving advice today to register their presence, so there will be a portal for that,' he said. Downing Street said its key message to British nationals in Israel was to stay near shelter and follow the advice of local authorities.
