Good Tuesday morning. We have a lot of news to talk about on the 47 Morning Update and it all revolves around day six of the war between Israel and Iran.

We've also had so many of you that have asked the question, how can I help people in Israel? And we've been telling you about the international fellowship of Christians and Jews and the work they are doing is incredible. They are deploying bomb shelters as we speak to help keep people safe in Israel when things get bad. That is when they step up and protect families and loved ones. And if you want to get involved and stand with the people in Israel right now, you can do it by giving food and shelter to Jewish families that are under threat. As I said, they're building bomb shelters for children. They're helping survivors of the attacks that we're witnessing right now and they are doing it daily. Your gift of only $45 will help support life saving work by providing food, shelter and so much more. I was speaking with the CEO of IFCJ and she was talking about just how hard is for so many families in Israel right now and what they're doing on the ground and the bomb shelters that are needed. And she said very simply, if you can help stand with the people in Israel that are under attack, they are doing everything they can to support them and to give the bomb shelters that are needed.

As we enter day six of the war between Iran and Israel, there are awful lot of headlines and we're going to deal with many of them today, including Iran could resort to unconventional means of retaliation that coming from the regime. We also note the IDF underestimated the military strength. That was a criticism early on, but the reality seems that Iran doesn't have much of an answer. We have missile attacks going back and forth and shut down oil refineries in Iran, sirens, sonic booms. It's all now part of the daily life in both countries. We also know that Netanyahu said that they could in fact kill the Supreme Leader of Iran. And then there's the other part, which is even bigger news. The President of the United States of America has left the G7 summit early, which brings us to the big part of the story. Monday night the president departed a full day ahead of schedule. The White House cited the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran as the reason. His early exit followed completing a working dinner with G7 leaders, after which he also chose not to sign the summit's joint de escalation statement. Instead, he urged civilians in Tehran to to evacuate via social media posts, signaling a firm and unilateral US Stance with Israel. Trump also canceled key bilateral talks scheduled for Tuesday, including with Ukraine's Zelensky and Mexico's president as well. And then there was the return to Washington D.C. reuters reporting at this moment that as Trump flew back to D.C. he requested that the National Security Council be on standby in the White House Situation Room to closely monitor developments within the Middle East. Additional news outlets also note that senior national security staff were assembling to prepare for his return, signaling heightened coordination. Now the White House press secretary Caroline Levitt told the press that Trump's return was because of what's going on in the Middle east, not hiding the reality of the situation. And while in Canada, Trump secured a trade deal also that is not being really reported on with the UK but refused to join the G7's collective statement. As I mentioned earlier on the Israel Iran diascal escalation underscoring his independent agenda. Now, the G7 host and other European leaders continued summit discussions without Trump to press for diplomatic pressure on the Iran Israel situation. So in short, Trump's early departure from the summit was driven by immediate security concerns in the Middle east and Trump is actively mobilizing his national security apparatus on his return, putting the NSC on standby to respond to the unfolding crisis. Now, let me be very clear. We also have another thing that's happening in the media, and it's the big lie that Donald Trump is some guy that wants massive war, when clearly he's saying he wants peace. But he's also been clear about something else. There was no way that Iran would be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. How do we know this? Well, you can go back to when he was running for president in 2015. And what did the president say then? And what has he been saying since then? Well, here's a little montage of the president never wavering on his stance that Iran could never have a nuclear weapon.
