The Group of Seven (G7) nations, along with the European Union, strongly criticized Iran for its attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure in the Middle East. The G7 Foreign Ministers expressed solidarity with the affected countries and denounced Iran’s actions as unjustifiable. They condemned Iran’s reckless attacks in various countries, emphasizing the need for an immediate halt to such activities to ensure regional and global security.
The G7 nations highlighted the threats posed by Iran’s actions not only to the targeted countries but also to broader security concerns. They called for the cessation of all attacks and stressed the importance of safeguarding critical maritime routes, including the vital Strait of Hormuz. The group reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety of navigation, security of supply chains, and stability of energy markets.
In addition to condemning Iran’s military activities, the G7 emphasized the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. They called on Iran to stop its missile program, end destabilizing activities in the region, and cease violence against its own people. The G7 reiterated its support for affected nations’ right to defend themselves against Iranian attacks and reaffirmed its commitment to their security and territorial integrity.
The G7 also condemned recent attacks in Iraq, particularly those targeting diplomatic facilities and energy infrastructure. They denounced Iran and its militias for their brazen assaults in Iraq, including those on diplomatic sites, energy installations, and forces from the US and Counter ISIS Coalition, as well as against the Iraqi people.
