Iran slams G7's 'irresponsible' statement on 'necessary response' to Israel
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaee on Thursday "pointed to the definite responsibility of G7 countries, especially the US, in aggravating insecurity and instability in West Asia due to their armament, financial and political support of the aggressor".
He warned about the serious consequences of this approach on the peace and stability of the region and beyond.
"The recent missile operation by the Islamic Republic of Iran against a combination of military-intelligence targets of the Zionist regime was a necessary response to the acts of aggression by the occupying regime,” Baqaee said.
The operation was "within the framework of the inherent right of legitimate self-defense", the spokesman said, condemning the use of threats and sanctions to put pressure on the Iranian nation.
Baqaee emphasized Iran's determination to protect the national security and the vital interests of the Iranian people in the region.
He also criticized the "irresponsible interventions of extra-regional actors, including the US, especially through continuing their all-out support for the Israeli occupation regime" which he described as the “main cause of instability in the West Asia region”.
"If the Group of Seven is really concerned about the peace and security of the region, it should use its leverage to immediately end the Palestinian genocide and stop the aggression of the Zionist regime against Lebanon, Syria and other countries in the region," he said.
The Foreign Ministry on Thursday said it had summoned the German and Austrian ambassadors after Berlin and Vienna summoned Iran's representatives to protest the Islamic Republic's response to the Israeli assassinations.
