The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Tuesday claimed that it has killed Iran's senior-most military official and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's closest military advisor, Ali Shadmani, in an air force strike in Tehran.
Leaders of the Group of Seven (G-7) countries attending a summit in Canada have issued a joint statement affirming Israel has "the right to defend itself" in the escalating crisis in West Asia. "We, the leaders of the G7, reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. In this context, we affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel. We also affirm the importance of the protection of civilians," read the statement released by the office of the Prime Minister of Canada.
The leaders said "Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror."
"We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon," the G7 leaders said. "We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza," it said.
They stated that they will remain vigilant regarding the implications for international energy markets, expressing readiness to coordinate as needed. "We will remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability," the statement read.
The heads of state from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and representatives from the European Union are set to meet through Tuesday.
US President Donald Trump cut short his visit and returned to Washington DC. According to Fox News Trump asked the National Security Council to be "prepared in the situation room" upon his return to Washington on Monday night.
Israel on Friday launched an aerial campaign targeting sites across Iran, saying the attacks aimed to prevent its enemy from acquiring atomic weapons. Tehran has denied the charge. Trump has proposed a ceasefire deal, according to French President Emmanuel Macron. But Trump also warned Iranians to evacuate Tehran, underscoring the danger to its 10 million residents, CNN reported.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he believes Israel's strikes have significantly set back Iran's nuclear program. "I estimate we are sending them back a very, very long time," he said. Israel targeted three key Iranian nuclear facilities and scientists, with the extent of the damage unclear. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is chaired the G7 summit.

"We know exactly where the so-called “Supreme Leader” is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" posts US President Donald Trump on Truth Social.
A 24x7 Control Room has been established in Ministry of External Affairs in view of the ongoing developments in Iran & Israel. In addition, the Embassy of India in Tehran has set up a 24x7 emergency helpline.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Tuesday claimed that it has killed Iran's senior-most military official and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's closest military advisor, Ali Shadmani, in an air force strike in Tehran. In a post on X, IDF stated, "For the second time in 5 days, the IDF has eliminated Iran's War-Time Chief of Staff, the regime's top military commander. Ali Shadmani, Iran's senior-most military official and Khamenei's closest military advisor, was killed in an IAF strike in central Tehran, following precise intelligence."
Amid escalating conflict between Iran and Israel, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday said that Indian students in Tehran have been moved out of the city for reasons of safety. It stated that other Indians who can manage to leave the city on their own have been advised to move of the city in view of the developing situation.
US President Donald Trump has refuted reports that he was leaving the G7 summit in Canada early to try and broker a peace deal between Israel and Iran. The US President also lashed out at his French counterpart for suggesting the same.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, "Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a 'ceasefire' between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!"

Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, US President Donald Trump on Monday (local time) urged civilians to "immediately evacuate Tehran," shortly after which the White House announced he would be departing the G7 summit early to "attend to many important matters." In a series of posts on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump strongly reiterated his long-held stance on Iran's nuclear ambitions, warning of serious consequences. (ANI)
