WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump denied reports he had reached out to Tehran seeking an end to the five-day Iran-Israel air war, after earlier suggesting he was working toward a broad Iran nuclear deal.

As the Israel-Iran conflict escalates, Israeli Defence Minister Katz and US President Trump call for the immediate evacuation of Tehran residents, warning of severe consequences, while the EU's Kallas confirmed the bloc is working on evacuating its citizens.

President Trump left the Group of Seven summit in Canada a day early to deal with the conflict between Israel and Iran.
