WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump threatened Iran's supreme leader with assassination as he pushed Tehran to give up its nuclear enrichment program and air strikes continued over Iran and Israel.

The conflict between Israel and Iran has rapidly escalated since Israel launched a series of air strikes against key Iranian targets.

President Trump left the G7 Summit early, citing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. NBC News’ Monica Alba and Matt Bradley report more. PBS NewsHour Co-Anchor Geoff Bennett and Victor Cha from the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Ana Cabrera to share their opinions on Trump’s ominous Truth Social post calling Tehran residents to evacuate.

Markets are concerned about Iran's frequent threats to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, just as the US heads into peak summer demand season.

In the span of about eight hours, President Donald Trump went from suggesting a nuclear deal with Iran remained “achievable” to urging Tehran’s 9.5 million residents to flee for their lives as he cut his visit to the international G7 summit short to return to Washington for urgent talks with his national security team.

Trump's evacuation comments in the early hours of Tuesday were reportedly followed by explosions and heavy air defence fire in Tehran. Iran launched two waves of missiles in response to the Israeli attacks, setting off air raid alerts in parts of central and northern Israel.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, killing at least five people, while Israel claimed in the fourth day of the conflict that it had now achieved “aerial superiority” over Tehran and could fly over the Iranian capital without facing major threats.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. knows where Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is, but won't kill him "at least not for now." He threatened Iran's supreme leader with assassination, pushed Tehran to end retaliatory airstrikes on Israel and warned against any threats to U.
