US President Donald Trump called on residents of the Iranian capital city of Tehran to flee on Tuesday, and instructed the National Security Council to prepare for an emergency meeting as tensions between the US and Iran soar ahead of possible American entry into the war between Israel and Iran.

At the end of the Group of Seven (G7) summit on Monday in Alberta, Canada, Trump hinted to reporters that he was in a rush to return to Washington to deal with “important matters.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later explained on X that Trump’s early return to the US was prompted by new developments in the Middle East.

“Because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State,” Leavitt wrote.

Multiple American news outlets later reported that Trump had convened a meeting of the National Security Council in the White House situation room, calling on the NSC to be prepared for a briefing upon his arrival.

The White House later confirmed that Trump had requested a meeting with the NSC.

Overnight, Trump issued a statement via his Truth Social account, lamenting Iran’s failure to sign a nuclear deal, and urging all residents of Tehran to evacuate “immediately.”

“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!”

Explosions were reported overnight in Tehran, while Iran’s air defense network was activated around the Natanz uranium enrichment facility.

In a follow-up post to this Truth Social account, Trump further hinted at possible American involvement in the war in Iran.

“AMERICA FIRST means many GREAT things, including the fact that, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
