�Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanaani, has strongly condemned part of a statement issued by the Group of Seven (G7) in Japan against the Islamic Republic.






The G7 finance ministers and central bank governors claimed in a�statement�on May 13 that they were concerned about �illicit financing risk emanating from Iran.�

�We strongly condemn that part of the G7 finance ministers� statement that makes a completely baseless and delusional accusation against the Islamic Republic of Iran,� Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan�ani said.

He urged the small group of countries �that are trying to impose their wishes� on others to �stop their deplorable practice of accompanying and appeasing the illegal US sanctions which violate the fundamental principles of international law and human rights against the great Iranian nation.�

Kan�ani added that the G7 members should be held accountable for their gross violations of international regulations instead of approving and being complicit in �unilateral and unfair positions� on the Iranian nation.

The G7 is an intergovernmental political forum consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The European Union (EU) is a �non-enumerated member.�

The US former president Donald Trump, reinstated brutal sanctions on Iran after unilaterally exiting from the 2015 nuclear deal in May 2018, despite Iran�s full compliance with the terms of the agreement.
