G7 Foreign Ministers reaffirm support for Israel, say Iran can never have nuclear weapons

The Hague, July 1 (UNI) G-7 Foreign Ministers have reaffirmed their support for Israel and asserted that Iran can never have nuclear weapons.

The G7 Foreign Ministers in their meeting at The Hague said in a Joint Statement that Israel has a right to defend itself and urged Iran to refrain from reconstituting its enrichment activities. They called for resumption of negotiations resulting in a comprehensive, verifiable and durable agreement that addresses Iran’s nuclear programme.

For a "sustainable and credible resolution, we call on Iran to urgently resume full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as required by its safeguards obligations and provide the IAEA with verifiable information about all nuclear material in Iran, including by providing access to IAEA inspectors. We condemn calls in Iran for the arrest and execution of IAEA Director General Grossi."

The Foreign Ministers underscored the centrality of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as the cornerstone of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime and said it is essential that Iran remains party to and fully implements its obligations under the Treaty.

Iran has already announced its decision to withdraw from the IAEA and expressed lack of faith in NPT.

‘’We reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. In this context, we reaffirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel.’’

Reiterating support for the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, the G7 Foreign Ministers urged all parties to avoid actions that could further destabilize the region.

They appreciated Qatar’s role in facilitating the ceasefire and expressed solidarity with Qatar and Iraq following the recent strikes by Iran and its proxies and partners against their territory. "We welcome all efforts in the region towards stabilization and de-escalation."
