Trump Set to Depart G-7 Early as Israel-Iran Tension Spikes

President Donald Trump is set to depart the Group of Seven leaders’ summit in Canada a day early, after warning residents of Tehran to evacuate the city as Israel continued to bombard Iran in a bid to disable its nuclear program.

The hasty departure fanned speculation that the US might be readying more aggressive support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s operation, while top US officials said the president remained hopeful a peace deal could be achieved.
