US President Donald Trump has denied French President Emmanuel Macron’s claim that he left the G7 Summit to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Trump said his return “has nothing to do with a Cease Fire” and hinted at a “much bigger” plan. The Israel-Iran conflict, now in its fifth day, has left 24 dead in Israel and 224 in Iran. Israel continues targeting Iranian missile and nuclear facilities, while both sides have struck civilian areas. Trump’s Truth Social post urging evacuation from Tehran preceded new Israeli strikes there. Talks involving Iran and Trump's envoy may still occur soon. (PC: India Today)
