US President Abruptly Leaves G7 Summit in Canada, Warns of ‘Dangerous Stage’ in Middle East; G7 Unity Strained Over Ukraine-Russia War
Tehran / Washington D.C.: As the war between Israel and Iran intensifies by the hour, US President Donald Trump has issued a dramatic and urgent directive, ordering all American citizens in Iran to leave the country immediately.
The announcement was made shortly after President Trump abruptly exited the ongoing G7 summit in Canada, citing the escalating conflict in the Middle East as a major global threat that demanded his immediate attention.
“The situation has already reached a dangerous stage, and it is necessary to take immediate action to establish peace,” President Trump said in a high-level statement from Air Force One, en route back to the United States.
Trump, who was scheduled to continue high-level meetings at the G7 summit in Calgary, Canada, surprised world leaders by walking out mid-session.
“I’ll be back as soon as possible. But now that the situation is serious, we have to go,” he told the media before boarding his emergency return flight.
The Middle East is witnessing an alarming spiral of violence, with Iran and Israel exchanging missile strikes, air raids, and cyberattacks. Civilian casualties have already begun to mount on both sides, and fears of a full-blown regional war have gripped the international community.
Adding to the tension, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has created deep fault lines within the G7 alliance. President Trump’s perceived pro-Russia stance has not only irked European allies but also sparked heated internal debates at the summit.
“The fragile unity of the G7 is being tested on two fronts—Russia’s war in Ukraine and the explosive situation in Iran,” noted a diplomatic source who attended the now-disrupted summit.
Trump's early exit and forceful stance on Iran have shifted the global spotlight once again on Washington’s foreign policy, especially given the historic volatility of US-Iran relations.
Meanwhile, American embassies and consulates across the Middle East have tightened security, and evacuation plans are being activated for citizens stranded in or near high-risk zones.
With oil prices surging, stock markets fluctuating, and geopolitical risk indicators peaking, the next 48 hours could prove critical in shaping the future of the Iran-Israel conflict—and its global impact.
