On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that Iran cannot win the ongoing conflict with Israel and should return to negotiations before it's too late. Trump's statement was made during the ongoing G7 meeting in Canada.
According to reports from Reuters and CBS News, Trump refused to sign the G7 statement, which calls for reducing tensions between Iran and Israel and maintaining stability in Western Asia.
Trump criticized former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former U.S. President Barack Obama for their roles in excluding Russia from the G7 (previously G8).
This statement from Donald Trump comes at a time when Israel has attacked Iran's Ministry of Defense headquarters and targeted the world's largest natural gas plant located in the Bushehr Province.
In this operation, Israel also targeted Iranian nuclear scientists and top military officials.
Iran launched 'Operation True Promise 3' in response to Israel's 'Operation Rising Line'. Iran conducted attacks on Israel from Saturday night to Sunday morning.

Tensions started to escalate due to political statements.
Day 2:
Military mistakes and diplomatic maneuvers began to unfold.

Day 4:
Current state involves ongoing conflict with potential for dialogue.
Donald Trump's Warning
Before the G7, Trump warned Iran that if it attacks America or its assets, the U.S. will respond with unprecedented force.
An official Iranian statement noted that Israeli attacks since Friday have resulted in 224 deaths and 1277 injuries, although it did not specify the number of civilians or military personnel.
