The G7 Foreign Ministers urge Iran to promptly resume full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in accordance with its safeguards obligations, and to provide the IAEA with verifiable information on all nuclear material in Iran, including granting access to IAEA inspectors.
"We reaffirm that the Islamic Republic of Iran can never have nuclear weapons, and urge Iran to refrain from reconstituting its unjustified enrichment activities. We call for the resumption of negotiations, resulting in a comprehensive, verifiable and durable agreement that addresses Iran’s nuclear program," - said the statement of G7 Foreign Ministers, published today.
They emphasized the central role of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as the foundation of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. "It is vital that Iran remains a party to the Treaty and fully complies with all of its obligations," - it added.
