World leaders at the G7 summit in Canada called for a resolution to the Iran-Israel conflict. They gave a strong message to Iran not to have nuclear weapons and supported Israel's right to defend itself.

President Trump quickly returned to Washington after leaving the summit over the situation in the Middle East. Rejecting French President Macron's call for a ceasefire, Trump said, "This is not a ceasefire, it's something bigger." He urged Tehran residents to leave the city immediately.

Explosions and air defenses were activated in Iran early Tuesday, especially in Natanz, a nuclear facility. Israel has claimed a massive attack on Iranian military facilities, including weapons depots and missile installations.

Explosions were heard in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Herzliya. Three people were reportedly killed in an Israeli attack on an Iranian television building.

Iran says 224 people have been killed in the conflict so far, mostly civilians. Israel says 24 of its citizens have been killed and about 3,000 have been evacuated.

Iran has asked Trump through Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia to pressure Israel to cease hostilities. Tehran has said it is ready to show flexibility in nuclear talks in return.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi said, “The response will continue if the aggression does not stop.” Iran denies having nuclear weapons and claims the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

Israel, although not a party to the NPT, is considered the region’s only potential nuclear power. Oil prices rose as much as 2% on Tuesday after Trump called on Tehran to leave.
