Trump, Rubio Leave G7 Early Amid Iran-Israel Crisis

Background

By Worthy News’ George Whitten and Stefan J. Bos

WASHINGTON/ALBERTA/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – U.S. President Donald J. Trump told reporters during a photo shoot of the Group of Seven (G7) leaders in Alberta, Canada that he and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be leaving the G7 summit early after he urged Iranian civilians to “immediately evacuate” the Iranian capital Tehran.

“You probably see what I see,” Trump told reporters in Alberta, Canada. He said Canada is “a great host,” but “I have to be back early for obvious reasons” to deal with the situation.

He earlier told residents in Tehran through his Truth Social media platform: “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!”

Trump was due to convene a meeting of his national security team as soon as he returned to the White House in Washington, D.C.

However, Yassamin Ansari, who became the second person of Iranian descent to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives last year, described Trump’s suggestion that “everyone” leave the Iranian capital as “callous and horrifying”.

“Tehran is a massive city of nearly 10 million. Iranian people deserve freedom, but Trump’s threat of murdering innocent civilians, a mass casualty event, or another endless war is not the answer,” Ansari, a Democrat, wrote on the social media platform X.

MISSILES FALLING

Yet both Israel’s government and thThe Trump administration has made clear that millions of people could die if Iran had nuclear weapons.

The developments came while Israeli authorities said Haifa port was among the targets hit by Iranian missiles, with refinery operations being halted because of severe damage to the refinery.

Israeli officials said several missiles fell in open areas, injuring Israelis who fled to shelters.

Haifa is one of two refineries where Israel refines a large chunk of petrol, diesel and jet fuel. Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based broadcaster banned from operating in Israel, claimed “Israelis have never experienced anything like this in the last 40 or 50 years. So it’s come as a bit of a shock to a lot of Israelis.”

Israelis are “beginning to realise that this is a very, very dangerous situation that they are in. Nevertheless, Israelis always rally around the flag,” noted the network’s reporter Benard Smith from his base Amman in neighboring Jordan.

“They may not like Benjamin Netanyahu or his extreme right-wing government – he personally remains unpopular – but Israelis will rally around the flag when the country is under attack,” the network’s reporter Benard Smith noted from his base Amman in neighboring Jordan,” he added.

TOLL RISING

Dozens of people have been killed and hundreds injured in Israel after Iran began sending hundreds of missiles toward Israel in response to Israeli attacks targeting its nuclear and military facilities as well as key leaders.

Additionally Israel hit Iran’s state broadcaster saying it wanted to target propaganda by “the regime” noting that the broadcaster was also used for military purposes.

Soon after raid sirens were heard in Tel Aviv as Iran said it is preparing for what it called “the largest and most intense missile attack in history” on Israeli soil, after a strike interrupted Iranian state television broadcasts.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended Israel’s actions and said killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would not escalate hostilities, but would “end the conflict.”

He made clear that millions of Iranians, who he said have a shared history with Israel, yearn for freedom.
