Israel, Iran Exchange Strikes Amid Escalating Crisis

Israel and Iran have exchanged missile and drone strikes, resulting in explosions and significant civilian casualties in both Tehran and Israel. US President Donald Trump left the G7 summit early to address the escalating conflict, calling for the immediate evacuation of Tehran and reiterating that Iran must not develop nuclear weapons. Trump criticized Iran for not signing a nuclear deal and warned of possible further consequences, while also stating that US military involvement remains possible but has not yet occurred. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that Israel's campaign is changing the strategic landscape by targeting Iran's nuclear and missile facilities. The violence has triggered widespread evacuations, travel alerts, and embassy closures, with countries including Australia working to help their citizens. The crisis has heightened regional tensions and global concerns.
