US President Donald Trump lashed out at French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday, openly mocking Macron’s hint at ceasefire efforts in Iran and denoting a potentially more aggressive US role in the Israeli aggression on the country. The remarks came in a post on Trump’s Truth Social account shortly after his abrupt departure from the G7 summit in Canada.

“Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a ‘cease fire’ between Israel and Iran. Wrong!” Trump posted. “He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!”

Trump’s message, widely interpreted as a thinly veiled threat, suggests the former president is not only dismissing diplomacy but also laying the groundwork for a more aggressive interference. His choice to characterize Macron’s calls to protect civilians as “publicity seeking” signals a broader contempt for de-escalation efforts amid a growing humanitarian crisis in Iran.

Macron warns West regime change in Iran would be 'strategic error

Earlier that day, French President Emmanuel Macron called for an immediate end to the targeting of civilians in the ongoing Israeli war on Iran and cautioned against any Western effort to pursue regime change in Tehran. Speaking at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, on Tuesday, Macron warned that forcing regime change in Tehran would be a “strategic error".

His remarks came as the Israeli occupation continued to strike Iranian cities, resulting in mounting civilian casualties, including women and children. Macron’s statement contrasted sharply with the more militarized postures of other Western leaders, as he insisted that diplomacy, not destabilization, must remain the priority.

Macron's warning comes at a time when voices in Washington and Tel Aviv are increasingly calling for escalatory measures. The Israeli entity has justified its bombing campaign under the pretext of targeting “regime-linked sites,” despite overwhelming civilian death tolls. Iran, meanwhile, has maintained that it is acting in self-defense amid a clear pattern of aggression.

Shortly before Macron’s comments, the White House announced that US President Donald Trump left the G7 summit early, reportedly to address the intensifying Middle East situation. Reports claim that the US has been engaged in back-channel talks, exploring the possibility of brokering a ceasefire.

The move came just hours after Trump issued a disturbing warning to residents of the Iranian capital, calling for an immediate evacuation.

"Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" the US president wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Macron welcomed any diplomatic initiative, stating, “If the United States can achieve a ceasefire, that’s a very good thing.” However, he warned against coupling ceasefire efforts with broader agendas of regime change, emphasizing that such strategies risk inflaming the region further.

Trump’s dismissive and cryptic response has intensified concerns in Tehran and beyond. With no clarification from the White House, the former president’s declaration that the situation is “much bigger” has raised alarms about possible escalation rather than resolution.
