Israel and Iran kept up their attacks on each other on June 15 as leaders of the Group of Seven began gathering in Canada for a summit expected to discuss the fighting and ways to keep the conflict from further escalating.
BANFF, Canada – The Group of Seven leaders have condemned Iran in what has become a rare joint statement after President Donald Trump departed the 2025 annual summit early to address the crisis unfolding between Israel and Iran in the Middle East.
The G7 leaders, who are currently meeting in Canada, backed Israel in the ongoing conflict and levelled its rival Iran as the principal source of regional instability and terror.
President Donald Trump abruptly announced that he would leave the G7 summit a day early and return to Washington shortly after posting an ominous social media message that appeared to suggest more carnage in Iran.
