Trump says early G7 exit ‘nothing to do’ with Iran, Israel ceasefire


Explosions are heard in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as the Israeli military says Iran has launched a new wave of missiles
Elsewhere Donald Trump leaves the G7 summit early over tensions in the Middle East, after earlier warning Iranians to evacuate Tehran
The US president says his departure has “nothing to do” with working on an Israel-Iran ceasefire, refuting comments by French President Emmanuel Macron
Iran and Israel are exchanging fire for a fifth day, with Iranian media reporting explosions and heavy air defence fire in Tehran overnight
Iran launched two waves of missiles in response to the Israeli attacks, setting off air raid alerts in parts of central and northern Israel in the early hours
The attacks were less intense than previous nights, and there were no reports of direct impacts or casualties, reports Hugo Bachega in Jerusalem
And in the last few hours, US President Donald Trump has left the G7 summit in Canada early, with the White House confirming he has “important matters” to attend to back in Washington.
He took to his Truth Social platform not long after boarding Air Force One to say, despite comments by French President Emmanuel Macron, he did not leave the G7 to work on a ceasefire. “It certainly has nothing to do” with that and is “much bigger”, he says.
