Trump has been looking for a war ever since he was sworn in. Looks like he'll finally get one.


Trump to depart G7 early due to Middle East conflict​

President Trump will depart the Group of Seven (G7) summit on Monday night, a day earlier than planned, because of the growing conflict in the Middle East.

“President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on the social platform X. “Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.”


The White House announced Trump’s altered schedule shortly after a series of posts he made on Truth Social that struck an ominous tone toward Iran, including one calling for everyone in the capital city of Tehran to “immediately evacuate.”

“AMERICA FIRST means many GREAT things, including the fact that, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” Trump wrote in a separate post.

Spokespeople for both the Pentagon and the White House on Monday night said U.S. forces were maintaining a defensive posture in the region.

US Bolsters Military Options for Trump With Refueling Aircraft, Officials Say​

The US military has moved a large number of refueling aircraft to Europe to provide options to President Donald Trump as Middle East tensions soar, two US officials told Reuters on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity.

AirNav systems, a flight tracking website, said that on Sunday evening more than 31 US Air Force refueling aircraft — primarily KC-135s and KC-45s — left the United States, heading east.

The officials declined to comment on the number of aircraft but said the US aircraft carrier Nimitz was heading to the Middle East, in what one of them said was a pre-planned deployment. The Nimitz can hold 5,000 personnel and more than 60 aircraft, including fighter jets.

Taken together, the deployments suggest the United States is greatly strengthening its air power for potentially sustained operations as Iran and Israel trade blows, in unprecedented open warfare that is seeing civilian casualties mount on both sides.

“The sudden eastward deployment of over two dozen US Air Force tankers is not business as usual. It’s a clear signal of strategic readiness,” said Eric Schouten at Dyami Security Intelligence.
