BANFF, Canada – The Group of Seven leaders have condemned Iran in what has become a rare joint statement after President Donald Trump departed the 2025 annual summit early to address the crisis unfolding between Israel and Iran in the Middle East.

President Donald Trump signaled Monday that the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran was intensifying rapidly, announcing he would return to Washington a day early from the Group of 7 summit in Canada to monitor developments after issuing an ominous warning to Iranians to “immediately evacuate” their capital city.

Leaders of some of the world's biggest economic powers will arrive in the Canadian Rockies on Sunday for a Group of Seven summit shadowed by a widening war in the Middle East, and U.S. President Donald Trump's unresolved trade war with allies and rivals alike.
