The foreign ministers of the G7 countries have called for the resumption of talks on Iran’s nuclear programme and urged Tehran to immediately restore full cooperation with the IAEA.
The meeting took place on Wednesday in The Hague, with foreign ministers from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, alongside the European Union’s foreign policy chief, discussing recent developments in the Middle East.
In a joint statement issued following the meeting, the ministers reaffirmed that Iran must never possess nuclear weapons and called on Tehran to refrain from resuming its nuclear enrichment activities.
They described the resumption of negotiations as a crucial step towards a comprehensive, verifiable, and lasting agreement addressing Iran’s nuclear programme.
The statement also strongly condemned calls within Iran for the arrest and execution of IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.

The ministers also called for the preservation of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran and urged all parties to avoid actions that could further destabilise the region.
