President Donald Trump does not intend to sign onto a joint statement calling for de-escalation between Israel and Iran that had been drafted by G7 leaders in Canada, according to a person familiar with the matter.

If there is a shared mission at this year’s G7 summit, which begins Monday in Canada’s Rocky Mountains, it is a desire to minimize any fireworks at a moment of combustible tensions.

President Trump is warning Iran against retaliating on United States targets in the Middle East.

In recent weeks, Israel grew more convinced that the threat posed by Tehran was getting increasingly serious and urgent.

Israel launched a third round of retaliatory attacks in an ongoing battle with Iran Sunday night.
