The G7 nations have publicly blamed Iran as the principal source of instability and terror in the Middle East amid escalating conflict with Israel.
In a joint statement, the G7 reaffirmed Israel's right to self-defense while condemning Iran's actions that have intensified regional tensions.

U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly left the G7 summit in Canada, citing the worsening situation, and urged all residents of Tehran to "immediately evacuate" due to nuclear threats.
Trump's social media posts emphasized, "IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!"

French President Emmanuel Macron highlighted ongoing efforts to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, stating, "There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange. An offer was made especially to get a ceasefire and to then kick-start broader discussions."

The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with Iranian officials reporting 224 deaths, mostly civilians, over five days, while Israel reported 24 civilian deaths. The violence includes missile and drone attacks launched by Iran against Israel.

The United States is bolstering its military presence in the region to strengthen its "defensive posture" amid fears of a wider war.

The crisis has also impacted global markets, with crude oil prices rising sharply following Trump's evacuation call, reflecting investor anxiety over geopolitical instability.

As tensions escalate, the international community watches closely, hoping diplomatic efforts can prevent a broader Middle East conflict.
