‘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. "Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" –President Donald J. Trump — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 16, 2025 '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. 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.

Trump, Rubio cutting G7 trip short, returning to DC as chatter indicates Iranians fleeing Tehran
President Donald Trump decided to cut his trip with the G7 short on Monday shortly after he said on his social media platform Truth Social that "everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" In addition to Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was also in Alberta, Canada, this week for the G7 conference, will be cutting his trip short as well, Fox News has learned. "I have to be back," Trump said during a ceremonial photo-op with the other world leaders present at the G7 summit on Monday. "You probably see what I see. And I have to be back as soon as I can." The president's comments came amid confirmation from the White House that he would be cutting the trip short "because of what's going on in the Middle East." Trump, meanwhile, has requested his National Security Council be prepared for his return, Fox News learned. Trump's change of plans also comes after he sent a message on his Truth Social platform to "everyone" in Iran, telling them they should "evacuate." Following the president's post, videos purportedly showing Iranians evacuating their capital city have begun surfacing on social media. Officials familiar with the ongoing situation said that the United States is not striking Iran and remains in a defensive posture amid the president's comments. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told Fox News before heading to the situation room Monday night that the U.S. remains "postured defensively." "What you're watching in real time is peace through strength and America first. Our job is to be strong. We are postured defensively in the region to be strong in pursuit of a peace deal," Hegseth told Fox News' Jesse Waters Monday night. "My job as the Secretary of Defense is to ensure that our people are safe and that we're strong so that we can set the conditions for a deal. And President Trump's made it clear it's on the table. The question is whether Iran will take it."
