In Iran, long lines were seen at gas stations in Tehran as authorities insisted that the situation was under control, but offered no guidance to the public on what to do. US President Donald Trump left the G7 summit early to focus on the conflict and joined other leaders in a joint statement saying Iran "can never have a nuclear arm" and calling for a "de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. French President Emmanuel Macron said there were talks about a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, but Trump appeared to contradict him on social media, stating that Macron falsely claimed he left the G7 summit to return to Washington to work on a "ceasefire" between Israel and Iran.

The Trump administration views joint statements with fellow democracies as unnecessary, prioritizing tariffs, increased fossil fuel production, and reducing Europe's dependence on US military support. Trump is meeting with world leaders, including UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to discuss trade agreements and security issues.
