Iran Condemns G7 Statement on Nuclear Program, Calls It “Deceitful”TEHRAN — Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday denounced the Group of Seven (G7) over its latest statement on Tehran’s nuclear activities, accusing the bloc of distortion and hypocrisy, reported by Mehr News Agency. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, in a statement published on his Telegram channel, described the G7 position as “deceitful” and an endorsement of unlawful actions. He specifically criticized the support voiced by G7 members for efforts by the United States and three European nations to reinstate lapsed UN Security Council sanctions through the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action’s (JCPOA) dispute resolution process, known as the “Snapback Mechanism.”Baghaei argued the maneuver lacked “any legal or logical basis” and insisted the G7’s endorsement could not legitimize what he termed a “fundamentally illegal” move. The spokesperson further blasted what he called the G7’s “hypocritical silence” on Israel’s nuclear arsenal, labeling Israel a “genocidal regime.” He argued that Western powers had “no moral authority” to lecture others on non-proliferation while disregarding their own responsibilities toward international peace and security. Baghaei concluded that the United States and its allies remain the principal culprits behind the nuclear standoff, while Iran continues to insist its program is peaceful.
