Iran-Israel escalations set to dominate G7 talks as leaders gather in Canada

The G7 summit opens overshadowed by Middle East conflict, with leaders divided over Israel’s strikes on Iran. President Trump, en route, voiced cautious optimism about a nuclear deal with Tehran, though he remains the only attendee capable of influencing the crisis directly. Other members worry about US-Israeli coordination to escalate attacks against Iran’s regime. Former US official PJ Crowley warned the summit is unlikely to resolve overlapping crises in Gaza, Ukraine, and Iran. While most G7 states reaffirm Israel’s "right to defend itself," Japan condemned Friday’s strikes—a stance shared by guest nations like South Africa and Brazil. Trump’s trade tariffs and the risk of Middle East instability disrupting global energy supplies loom over economic talks. Al Jazeera’s James Bays reports from Canada’s Rocky Mountains.
