• G7 leaders assert Iran can never have a nuclear weapon as tensions escalate.
• Trump calls for immediate evacuation of Tehran, warning of Israeli military action.
• The summit was disrupted by Israel's recent attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.

During a recent summit in Canada, G7 leaders declared that “Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,” stressing the country as a significant source of regional instability. The leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US expressed unwavering support for Israel's right to self-defense and called for a broader resolution to stabilize the Middle East, advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza, according to India Times, Dawn, and TRT Global.

US President Donald Trump left the summit earlier than planned due to the escalating conflict, urging civilians in Tehran to evacuate "immediately." He reiterated the stance that Iran should have signed the proposed nuclear deal and emphasized, “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” according to India Times, Dawn, and TRT Global.

Following intensified airstrikes by Israel on Iranian military and nuclear sites, tensions have sharply escalated, resulting in significant casualties on both sides. The attacks form part of Israel's “Operation Rising Lion” aimed at thwarting Iran's nuclear ambitions. G7 leaders expressed their concern for civilian protection amidst the fighting, as Israel's actions have reportedly resulted in numerous civilian deaths in both Iran and Gaza, according to India Times, Dawn, and TRT Global.

As the conflict intensifies, G7 leaders remain vigilant regarding the implications for international energy markets and have pledged readiness to coordinate for market stability. Additionally, discussions about a nuclear agreement with Iran are ongoing, yet complicated by the current hostilities, as Trump stated, “Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign,” highlighting the urgency felt by the US administration, according to India Times, Dawn, and TRT Global.
