President Donald Trump issued a dire evacuation warning to people living in Tehran, Iran.
In a post on his Truth Social app on Monday, Trump wrote: “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! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”
Trump left the G7 Summit in Canada early to return to the White House after signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom on Monday.
President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. 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.

On Air Force One, Trump warned that the “gloves are off” if Iran attacked U.S. troops in the Middle East. The U.S. has about 40,000 troops deployed in the Middle East.
“We’ll come down so hard if they do anything to our people,” the U.S. president told reporters on Air Force One last night. “The gloves are off. I think they know not to touch our troops.”
Trump also issued a dire warning to people in Tehran to evacuate immediately due to the risk of a possible nuclear attack.
Trump later said on Truth Social: “I have not reached out to Iran for ‘Peace Talks’ in any way, shape, or form. If they want to talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table.”
Iran has denied allegations that it is developing nuclear weapons.
