TEHRAN, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei on Thursday rejected the Group of Seven (G7) criticism of the Islamic Republic, calling it "baseless and irresponsible."
This was stated in a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to the joint communiqué of the G7 foreign ministers, released on Wednesday following their meeting in Canada.
The G7 foreign ministers condemned Iran for its alleged military support for Russia in the conflict with Ukraine and called on Tehran to fully comply with its obligations under UN Security Council resolutions and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), and to resume full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), including by allowing inspections of all nuclear facilities and materials.
The ministers also called on Iran to begin direct talks with the United States with the support of the EU3 countries (the UK, Germany and France), and on UN member states to honour their commitments following the recent entry into force of the snapback mechanism to restore UN sanctions against Tehran.
E. Baghaei condemned the G7 countries for their “irresponsible” support for the “illegal and unjustified” actions of the EU3 and the United States, which abused the 2015 nuclear deal’s dispute resolution mechanism to reinstate previously lifted UN Security Council sanctions against Tehran.
He also emphasized that Israel and the United States have unleashed "illegal aggression" against Iran, including attacks on "peaceful" nuclear facilities. The G7's request for Tehran to cooperate with the IAEA without acknowledging the joint crimes committed by Israel and the United States is hypocritical, the diplomat stated.
E. Baghaei also rejected the accusations related to the Ukrainian conflict, calling them "repetitive and irresponsible." He emphasized that Iran fundamentally opposes war and supports a resolution to the conflict through dialogue and negotiations.
