The G7 summit in France will pivot away from its standard agenda of separate economic and security issues, with discussions of a U.S.-led military campaign in Iran expected to dominate the gathering.

Organizers had planned the meeting to address multiple policy areas, but the scope has narrowed significantly. The conflict has drawn sufficient attention from member nations that it will occupy the central focus of talks among leaders from the world's largest advanced economies.

The shift represents a departure from how G7 summits typically operate, with nations ordinarily bringing distinct proposals and concerns to the table for broader negotiation.
