17.06.2025 โ‡ข The Day Trump Left for Tehran
โŒจTrump abruptly left the G7 summit early morning, calling for Tehran's immediate evacuation while branding Iran "foolish" as the Israel-Iran conflict entered its fifth day. He initially denied the departure was ceasefire-related, claiming to work on "something bigger than a ceasefire."

By afternoon, Trump's position hardened significantly. He demanded Iran's "complete surrender" and "unconditional surrender," threatening the Supreme Leader directly while claiming US forces knew his location but wouldn't "kill him - for now." American warplanes deployed across UK and Europe as Trump met generals in the Situation Room.

Evening reports suggested Trump was actively considering US strikes on Iran, escalating beyond the previous days' Israel-only operations. Israel warned of surprises that would make "the pager plot seem simple" while continuing strikes on Tehran.

Domestically, Kim Woodburn died aged 83, while MPs voted to decriminalise abortion. The grooming gangs inquiry continued generating coverage with claims of establishment cover-ups.
