'Nothing to do with ceasefire': Trump leaves G7 midway. Is US planning something big in Iran?

U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly departed the G7 summit in Canada a day early, fueling speculation about behind-the-scenes diplomatic moves amid the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. At a group photo with fellow leaders prior to his exit, Trump told reporters: “I have to be back as soon as I can. I wish I could stay for tomorrow, but they understand — this is big stuff.”

The unexpected departure was interpreted by some, including French President Emmanuel Macron, as a possible sign of an impending ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Macron's remark sparked widespread media speculation.

However, the White House swiftly dismissed the notion. Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform, blasted Macron’s interpretation.


“Publicity-seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a ‘ceasefire’ between Israel and Iran. Wrong!” Trump wrote.

“He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a ceasefire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay tuned!”

Trump's Plan

According to a report in the Times of India, Trump may head straight into a National Security Council meeting upon landing in Washington, amid growing speculation that the U.S. could soon join Israel in a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

According to the report, such an operation would involve the deployment of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), also known as the GBU-57 — a 13,600 kg, 20-foot-long bunker-buster bomb capable of penetrating Iran’s heavily fortified Fordo nuclear facility. Only B-2 stealth bombers can carry the MOP, a capability Israel lacks.

Some military analysts believe multiple MOPs would be required to destroy Fordo, which is buried deep underground. This strategy is seen by hawkish U.S. officials as the only sure way to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Anything short of it, they warn, would allow Tehran to continue its pursuit of an atomic bomb.

Meanwhile on G7, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.”

Notably, just before departing, Trump caused further global alarm by posting a chilling warning: “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.”

That statement followed a stark message directed at Iranian leaders: “Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again!”

As tensions surge and speculation mounts over U.S. involvement in a possible military strike, Trump’s next move could have consequences far beyond Washington.
