The Iran Project : Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has condemned allegations made against Iran by foreign ministers from the group of seven industrialized countries, known as G7, dismissing them as totally unfounded and hypocritical.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson rejects ‘unfounded’ G7 allegations against Iran
According to The Iran Project, Baqaei made the reaction on Saturday a day after G7 top diplomats, at the end of their meeting in Canada’s Charlevoix, accused Iran of sending weapons to Russia to use in the Ukraine war. They also accused Iran of being the “principal source of instability” in the West Asia region, which should “never be allowed to develop and acquire a nuclear weapon.”
Accusing Iran of destabilizing behavior in the region is a clear diversion of facts and an “evil blame-game” by the G7 members, said the spokesperson.
He referred to “unlawful, irresponsible and interfering behaviors” by the G7 member countries in West Asia, especially their military, financial or political support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza, emphasizing that they should be accountable for their improper performance regarding peace in West Asia as well as their complicity in the “clear violation of human rights” in occupied Palestine.
Baqaei also said that Iran is conducting its nuclear activities in accordance with its technical and industrial needs, and based on its international rights and obligations defined under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Safeguards Agreement.
