  • Israel targets Iran's state TV headquarters as war enters day five.
  • Donald Trump urges immediate evacuation of Tehran via Truth Social.
  • France's Macron confirms Trump's ceasefire offer to Iran and Israel.

The war between Iran and Israel is witnessing the fifth day and both nations are maintaining a never-ending aggression.

Videos of the attack by Israel on Tuesday against the headquarters of the state television broadcaster in Iran are widely explained in social media. President Donald Trump of the United States shortened his visit to G7 summit in Canada by one day because of the rising tensions in the Middle East. He additionally relayed on his social media platform Truth Social that people should leave Tehran calling all to evacuate it following the promise by Israel to strike Iran with a massive attack.

Trump made it clear that the nuclear deal between Iran and the US needed to be signed to which the on-going conflict has created a setback.

“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!,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

The French President Emmanuel Macron clarified during an interview with reporters in G7 that Donald Trump has offered Iran and Israel to end up a ceasefire. "There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange. An offer was made especially to get a ceasefire and to then kick-start broader discussions," Reuters quoted Macron as saying.

“Our attacks in Iran have retarded the Iranian nuclear program by a very, very long time” was the claim made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He went on to say that Israel is not attempting to overthrow the Iran government but he will not be surprised to see this being undertaken following the bombings.
