G7 Summit in Kananaskis: U.S. shift to a strategy of unilateral force to prevent global conflict, exemplified by neutralizing Iran

From June 16 to 17, 2025, the 51st G7 leadership summit took place in Kananaskis, Canada. For the first time since its inception, the "Group of Seven" failed to adopt a prepared package of decisions or formulate a unified political signal.

President Donald Trump was forced to leave the summit early due to the escalation of the Israeli-Iranian conflict, which also led to the cancellation of key bilateral meetings with leaders from India, South Korea, Australia, and Mexico.

What appears to the public as a symbolic “vacuum” of American leadership marks the starting point of a new reality — the United States demonstrates readiness to act unilaterally when multilateral formats fail to provide rapid leverage.
