Iran has condemned G7 accusations as baseless, criticizing the countries for their interventions in West Asia, especially regarding support for Israel. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei insists that Iran’s nuclear program is compliant with international norms and rejects claims of its involvement in the Ukraine war, advocating for peace and dialogue instead.
Iran has strongly condemned the recent accusations made by the Group of Seven (G7) nations and the European Union, describing them as “completely baseless and deceitful.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei criticized the claims regarding Iran’s conduct in the region as distortions of truth and malicious projections intended to mislead.
Baghaei also attacked the G7 nations for their illegal and irresponsible actions in West Asia, particularly highlighting their military and financial support for Israel. He emphasized that G7 members should be held accountable for their collaboration in significant violations of international humanitarian law and human rights in Palestine.
The foreign ministers from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, the US, and the EU foreign policy chief convened in Canada recently and issued a joint statement. They labeled Iran as a “principal source of regional instability” and insisted it must not be permitted to develop nuclear weapons, making accusations regarding Iran’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Iran maintains that its nuclear activities align with its technical and industrial requirements and comply with international rights and obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Baghaei characterized the G7’s concerns over Iran’s nuclear program as “unfounded,” attributing them to the political motivations of specific G7 members.
He underscored Iran’s commitment to nuclear disarmament in West Asia, identifying Israel as the primary impediment to this effort. Baghaei accused Israel of developing weapons of mass destruction with support from G7 nations and committing rights violations in Gaza and the West Bank, presenting a significant threat to international peace and security.
The spokesperson reiterated Iran’s right to defend its territorial integrity using its military capabilities. He also rejected ongoing G7 claims concerning Iran’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict, asserting that Tehran advocates for peace and dialogue to resolve the situation. Baghaei noted that those criticizing Iran should rectify their own policies instead of shifting blame.
In summary, Iran categorically rejects accusations from the G7 and EU regarding its actions in West Asia, nuclear program, and alleged involvement in the Ukraine war. The Iranian government argues that such claims are politically motivated distortions of truth and highlights the need for accountability for violations of humanitarian law in Palestine. Iran emphasizes its right to defend itself while advocating for regional disarmament and dialogue in conflict resolution.
