() As Iran and Israel continue to trade attacks, President Donald Trump has echoed Israel’s warning to the 9.5 million residents of Tehran: get out while you still can.

It’s a switch-up from early Monday, when the president said a nuclear deal with Iran was still “achievable.” Within the day, Trump had decided to depart the Group of Seven summit to monitor the situation and called for a “complete give-up” by Iran. 

“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, it’s very simple,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One during his overnight flight back to Washington, adding that he is “not too much in the mood to negotiate” and that Iran should have taken a nuclear program deal.

Israel’s surprise attacks on Iran’s military and nuclear program prompted retaliatory action from Tehran. The countries have traded attacks for five days.

Israeli missiles have bombarded Iran’s capital, including an attack on a state television studio while they were live on the air, while Tel Aviv said Tehran is targeting civilians with its strikes.

Trump: ‘I have not reached out to Iran’

In an early morning post on his Truth Social platform, Trump refuted the idea that his and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s G7 departure was to help facilitate a ceasefire.

“I have not reached out to Iran for “Peace Talks” in any way, shape, or form. This is just more HIGHLY FABRICATED, FAKE NEWS! If they want to talk, they know how to reach me,” Trump’s post reads.

“They should have taken the deal that was on the table – Would have saved a lot of lives!!!” he continued.

Israel says it killed high-ranking Iranian general

Israel said Tuesday it killed another high-ranking Iranian general after decimating its military command.

The Israeli military said it killed Gen. Ali Shadmani, who had recently been named the head of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters.

‘Pre-planned’: US moves military assets to Middle East

A Pentagon official confirmed to that the USS Carl Vinson and the USS Nimitz will be in the Middle East at the same time as they hand over responsibilities.

The move was “pre-planned” and “just happened to coincide with region tensions,” the official said.

The Nimitz, the Navy’s oldest active aircraft carrier, is set to be decommissioned next spring. No timeframe was given as to how long the Nimitz will be in the Middle East.
