G7 Condemns Iran's Attacks on Gulf States, Urges Immediate Halt
The G7 nations—comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US, alongside the EU High Representative—issued a powerful condemnation of Iran's recent attacks targeting civilian infrastructure and energy assets in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, and Iraq. These strikes are seen as reckless provocations escalating tensions in the already volatile Middle East.
These attacks not only imperil civilians in affected countries but also jeopardize critical energy supplies and the security of worldwide maritime routes, including the key Strait of Hormuz through which a significant portion of global oil shipments pass. The G7's collective statement stresses that Tehran's aggression threatens regional stability and global economic security.
By invoking United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817, the ministers demand an immediate and unconditional cessation of all Iranian attacks, warning that continued hostilities could lead to further escalation. Their unified call highlights mounting international concern over Iran’s proxy warfare and its impact on the fragile Middle East security environment.
The message conveys solidarity with Middle Eastern partners confronting Iranian aggression, aiming to deter further attacks and maintain peace in the strategically vital Gulf region.
