*Escalation in Middle East: Iran Launches Fresh Strikes as Trump Denies Ceasefire Focu* Tensions in the Middle East have dramatically escalated as the fifth day of hostilities between Israel and Iran began with a new barrage of strikes launched by Iran. This comes amidst a backdrop of denial from US President Donald Trump, who refuted claims that his early departure from the G7 summit was specifically to pursue a ceasefire deal. ZiMetro News has learned that US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning, calling for the immediate evacuation of all residents from Tehran. This urgent directive followed closely on the heels of Israeli forces advising residents in parts of north-eastern Tehran to vacate their areas in anticipation of targeted strikes on what they identified as "military infrastructure." These significant announcements underscore the deepening conflict between Iran and Israel, now entering its fifth day, with both nations continuing to exchange strikes and no immediate signs of de-escalation. Overnight, reports from Tehran indicated widespread explosions and intense air defence activity. Iranian state media confirmed that Israeli airstrikes had indeed hit the capital, with a direct strike reportedly impacting the country’s state-run television station during a live broadcast, plunging it into darkness. On Monday, Iran initiated a pre-dawn missile assault on Israel, which tragically resulted in the deaths of at least eight people. This act prompted further retaliatory strikes from Israel throughout the day. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted on Monday that the ongoing strikes have significantly set back Iran's nuclear program by "years." He also confirmed daily communication with President Trump, who had unexpectedly left the G7 summit in Canada. While initial reports suggested Trump's early exit was to focus on a ceasefire agreement in Washington, the US President has since publicly denied this specific purpose.
