G7 foreign ministers have urged Iran to urgently resume nuclear talks and full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), condemning calls to arrest its director.
The statement reaffirmed the commitment to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and highlighted the need for regional stability.
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 G7 ministers reiterated the central importance of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as the foundation of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime and stressed the necessity for Iran to fully comply with its treaty obligations.
They reaffirmed their commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East, affirming Israel’s right to self-defence.
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.
Iran consistently denies that it's seeking to create nuclear weapons.
