TEHRAN – The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the Group of Seven’s statement on Iran’s nuclear issue, describing it as deceitful and a distortion of the facts, Tasnim News Agency reported. He stressed that the position taken by the G7 cannot in any way alter the illegal and unjustified nature of that action. He underscored that it was in fact the United States which, by its unlawful and unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018 and its subsequent persistent violations of international law regarding Iran and its obstruction of the deal’s implementation, bears full responsibility for the current situation. He further pointed to the G7 countries’ indifference toward the genocidal Zionist regime’s nuclear arsenal, describing their stance on non-proliferation as hypocritical. The Iranian spokesman emphasized that, given their duplicitous and irresponsible conduct with respect to the rule of law and international peace and security, these seven countries lack any moral authority to lecture others.
