Our NewsHour presenter Guy Shone examined the geopolitical ripple effects of the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran during the G7 summit, where U.S. President Donald Trump’s early exit drew worldwide attention.
The program highlighted reports that Iran, via Gulf intermediaries, may be willing to return to nuclear talks on the condition that Washington persuades Israel to agree to a ceasefire. However, President Trump has rejected these overtures, refusing to sign the G7 joint statement backing Israel’s right to self-defence. Instead, he is demanding Iran commit to strict conditions regarding its nuclear programme.
Guy Shone also discussed how Trump’s early departure disrupted key diplomatic meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
With Trump now returning to Washington to convene his National Security Council, the segment explored how the deepening Israel-Iran confrontation is reshaping global diplomacy and putting additional strain on Western unity.
