Donald Trump issued a stark warning Monday night on Truth Social, urging people in Tehran to leave immediately, as word spread that he would cut his time at the G7 summit short due to the escalating Iran-Israel hostilities.
“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 wrote.
Roughly an hour later, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X that Trump would head home early from the G7 gathering in Canada “because of what’s going on in the Middle East.”
Speaking with reporters before boarding his plane, Trump explained the urgency. “I have to be back early for obvious reasons,” he said.

“We had a, just a really great relationship with everybody and it’s really nice. I wish I could stay for tomorrow, but they understand. This is big stuff.”
According to NBC News and Fox News host Lawrence Jones III, Trump has instructed his National Security Council team to be on standby in the Situation Room when he returns to the capital.
Trump’s call for Tehran residents to evacuate came after Israeli authorities issued similar guidance earlier in the day, warning civilians to clear out of areas likely to be targeted in their continued offensive against Iran. The conflict has seen a surge of missile strikes traded between the two nations.
The evacuation zone includes a densely populated section of central Tehran, home to government buildings such as the state broadcasting center, the national police command, and several prominent hospitals—one operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Iranian officials brushed off Israel’s evacuation notice, labeling it “psychological warfare.”
Despite the official dismissal, widespread fear and confusion have spread. Many residents have been forced to flee, even as Tehran offers few safe shelters. The city’s population of over 9 million is facing gridlocked roads and little clear guidance, leaving many stranded or sheltering in basements and subway tunnels.
With Monday marking day four of the military conflict, tensions continued to rise. The first strikes came Friday, when Israel launched precision attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and key military figures. Since then, retaliatory missile exchanges have occurred daily, including one that struck an Iranian news studio live on air.
The G7 summit, which opened in Canada on Sunday, included the Mideast crisis high on its agenda. But when asked whether the United States would enter the fray, Trump declined to give specifics.
“I don’t want to talk about that,” he said.
Speaking to ABC News earlier that same day, Trump acknowledged the possibility of involvement but noted the U.S. had not taken any steps yet.
“We’re not involved in it. It’s possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved,” he stated.
Summit leaders had drafted a joint G7 statement calling for de-escalation between Iran and Israel, but Trump refused to attach his signature.
Reports from the Wall Street Journal revealed that Iran, through mediators in the Arab world, has expressed interest in reviving nuclear negotiations and finding a path to end the fighting.
By Monday’s count, the death toll in Iran had reached at least 224. Israel, meanwhile, reported 24 fatalities.
