President Trump tells ‘everyone’ to evacuate Iranian capital amid war with Israel

US President Donald Trump caused panic in Iran on Monday night by telling everyone in Tehran to evacuate. This happened as the fight between Israel and Iran became more serious.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that Iran should have agreed to the deal he suggested. He said it’s a shame so many lives are being lost and repeated that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon. He then told everyone to leave Tehran right away.

Shortly after his post, Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said the president would leave the G7 meeting in Canada earlier than planned. He would return to Washington to talk with his advisers about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, which has now lasted five days.

Before Trump’s message, Israeli officials had already asked people in Tehran to evacuate due to their continuing military attacks on Iran. These attacks have involved several missile strikes from both countries.

The evacuation warning affects about 330,000 people living in central Tehran. This area includes important locations like Iran’s national TV station, the police headquarters, and three major hospitals—one of which is run by the Revolutionary Guard.

Iranian officials ignored Israel’s warning and said it was only meant to scare people. They called it “psychological warfare.”

Later that day, G7 leaders released a statement about the situation. Although Trump wasn’t expected to sign it, he did. The statement said Israel has the right to defend itself and that civilians should be protected. It also said Iran causes problems in the region and must never get a nuclear weapon. The G7 leaders asked for a peaceful solution to the crisis and called for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The statement also mentioned that the G7 is keeping an eye on how this conflict might affect global energy supplies. They said they are ready to work with other countries to help keep energy markets stable.
