US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that French President and his G7 counterpart, Emmanuel Macron was wrong to assume that his early departure had anything to do with Israel-Iran conflict. In a post on Truth Social, Trump called Macron’s assumption ‘wrong’, and said that his reasons are ‘much bigger’ than any ‘ceasefire’ between Tel Aviv and Tehran. “Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a “cease fire” between Israel and Iran. Wrong!” Trump wrote on Truth. He (Macron) has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong, said Trump. <iframe src=”https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114696999897040583/embed” class=”truthsocial-embed” style=”max-width: 100%; border: 0″ width=”600″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen”></iframe><script src=”https://truthsocial.com/embed.js” async=”async”></script>The conflict between Iran and Israel intensified on Tuesday as both struck each other for a fifth consecutive day, prompting US President Donald Trump to urge Iranians to evacuate their capital, Tehran. Trump cited Iran’s rejection of a deal to curb its nuclear weapons programme as the key reason.The White House said Trump was cutting short his visit to the Group of Seven Summit in Canada and would return to Washington a day early to respond to the developing crisis. Fox News reported that the US President plans to convene his National Security Council upon his return.Previously, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was leaving for Washington “so he can attend to many important matters.” In a follow-up post on X, she explained the departure was due to “what’s going on in the Middle East.”What Macron said on Trump’s early G7 exitFrench President Emmanuel Macron described Trump’s departure from the G7 as a constructive move, given the urgency of securing a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Meanwhile, Iranian media reported explosions and heavy air defence fire in Tehran and Natanz — home to key nuclear facilities — while air-raid sirens wailed in Tel Aviv after midnight following Iran’s latest attacks. Israeli officials said nearly 3,000 civilians were evacuated due to damage from Iranian strikes.Sources told Reuters that Iran has asked Oman, Saudi Arabia and Qatar to urge Trump to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into a ceasefire, offering in return a more flexible approach to negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme.Diplomatic moves amid growing conflict“If President Trump is genuine about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential. Israel must halt its aggression, and absent a total cessation of military aggression against us, our responses will continue,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said in a post on X.Netanyahu insisted Israel would pursue its campaign against Iran’s nuclear facilities and ballistic missile sites “until the threat is eliminated.”“It could be achieved in another way — fine. But we gave it a 60-day chance and now we will act to destroy that capability ourselves if we must.”Meanwhile, oil prices jumped more than 2% in Asia on Tuesday following Trump’s warning and reports Iran was exploring a diplomatic path to de-escalate the conflict.The Chinese embassy in Israel also called on its nationals to leave immediately by land.
