Trump to abruptly leave a G7 in Canada a day ahead of schedule to *deal with* [right, cuz he’s so effective at diplomacy] the escalating conflict between #Iran & #Israel, amid Israeli pressure for the #US to intervene militarily to crush Iran’s #nuclear capabilities.The White House propagandist, Karoline Leavitt, said that Trump left the 2-day summit “because of what is going on in the Middle East,” but did not elaborate.#geopolitics #war https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/16/world/iran-israel-news/heres-the-latest?smid=url-share

The fiercest confrontation in the history of the #Israel – #Iran conflict has entered its 5th day, w/Israel still short of its goal of knocking out Iran’s #nuclear development program.Israeli ofcls have been pressing the #US to engage directly in the #war by dropping so-called bunker-busting #bombs, 30k-pound #weapons powerful enough to take out Iran’s deeply buried equipment at the major #Fordo nuclear site.#geopolitics #MiddleEast #war #Trump

@Nonilex His brain is turning into soup. He's lasted longer than I expected, but I still don't think he'll serve his full term.

Only one weapon could destroy the facility, experts say: the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which requires a B-2 bomber for delivery. #Israel owns neither the weapon nor the bomber.#Trump has long made clear his opposition to American involvement in other countries’ wars. But he has also made clear his opposition to a #nuclear-armed #Iran.“Simply stated,” he said Monday on his social media platform, “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.” #geopolitics #MiddleEast #war

#Trump had already decided, acc/to a WH ofcl, not to sign a statement being prepared by the #G7 nations that called for de-escalation between #Iran & #Israel, the latest evidence of a rift between Trump & fellow world leaders.Acting w/what appeared to be increasing confidence, Israel claimed “full aerial superiority”on Monday & told residents of parts of #Tehran to evacuate, hinting in advance that it was about to attack the #stateTV complex. That attack came while anchors were live on the air.

#Israel also said it had struck the HQ of the elite Quds Force in the Iranian capital. And #Netanyahu declined to rule out targeting Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei.#Iran sent barrages of ballistic missiles at Israel, some of which struck several cities early on Monday, killing at least 8 people, according to Israeli officials.#geopolitics #MiddleEast #war #Trump

#Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, signaled an openness to resuming talks w/ #US representatives about curtailing its #nuclear development program. And #Trump has been encouraging #JDVance & his Mideast envoy, #SteveWitkoff, to offer to meet the Iranians this week….“If President Trump is genuine about diplomacy & interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential,” Mr. Araghchi said in a statement.#geopolitics #Israel #MiddleEast #war

With #civilian casualties climbing on both sides, the #war now seems likely to last weeks, not days. Israeli strikes have killed at least 224 people in #Iran, according to the Iranian health ministry, & injured more than 1,400 people. In #Israel, the government said at least 24 people had died, with roughly 600 injured.#geopolitics #MiddleEast #war #Trump

Update:Despite earlier resistance, #Trump joined other #G7 leaders in signing a statement on the#MiddleEast critical of #Iran. “We, the leaders of the G7, reiterate our commitment to peace & stability in the Middle East,” the statement says. “In this context, we affirm that #Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel.”Trump had previously refused to sign the statement, but decided to do so when the draft language was adjusted.#geopolitics

The #G7 joint statement describes #Iran as “the principal source of regional instability & terror.” Officials from Canada confirmed that #Trump had signed the statement, despite earlier resistance.The G7 leaders’ statement notably also mentions #Israel’s ongoing war in #Gaza, in which thousands of #civilians have died. “We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the #MiddleEast, including a #ceasefire in Gaza,” the statement says.

@Nonilex So the country on the receiving end of the initial attacks is the aggressor?But Israel has a right to defend itself against the country it bombed? (implication, the country it bombed is NOT allowed to defend itself?)

@Nonilex He left because no one likes him. Not a single one of them.
