The U.S. signed on to the statement even though Trump left the summit early, citing the tensions in the Middle East

G7 leaders have reiterated their stance on Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme, saying the country would not be allowed to be a nuclear-armed state, even as they called for de-escalation in the Middle East,

"At one point, there was concern they wouldn't be able to produce a joint declaration," a Western diplomat told the Post.

The G7 leaders said that they "stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability".

Alert sirens have repeatedly sent Israelis rushing to bomb shelters as Iran fired missiles during the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. Officials said most of the missiles fired Tuesday were intercepted,

Israel and Iran's long-simmering tensions erupted into missile attacks last Friday, when Israel launched a suprise attack against military and nuclear targets in Iran and wiped out the top echelon of Iran's military command.
