TRUMP: ‘EVERYONE SHOULD IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE TEHRAN!’: President Donald Trump cut short his time at the Group of Seven summit in Alberta, Canada, to rush home to Washington, dismissing suggestions that he might be seeking to broker a ceasefire in the Israel-Iran war, which is now in its fifth day. “It certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that … Stay tuned,” he posted on Truth Social

Earlier, he had posted a warning to Iranians in the capital city, “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” he said, after lamenting, “Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again!” Earlier Monday, Israel’s military issued an evacuation warning to 330,000 people in a part of central Tehran that houses the country’s state TV and police headquarters.
