The Group of Seven summit has opened in Canada with world leaders scrambling to contain the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Israel and Iran intensified their deadly air strikes Monday on the fifth day after Israel launched its first attack to dismantle Iran's nuclear capability.

Gold rebounded on Tuesday as heightened geopolitical uncertainty stemming from Israel-Iran fighting and U.S. President Donald Trump's call to evacuate Tehran led investors to seek safe-haven assets.

The death toll is rising as Israel and Iran traded missile strikes for a third straight day. The death toll grew Sunday as Israel and Iran exchanged missile attacks for a third consecutive day, with Israel warning that worse is to come.

Israel and Iran have opened a new chapter in their long history of conflict when Israel launched a major attack with strikes early Friday on Tehran.

Iran conflict could open opportunities for Russia to possibly become a power broker to help end the confrontation.
