The foreign ministers of the G7 group of nations on Saturday called on Iran to immediately and unconditionally halt its “unjustified” attacks, stressing the importance of protecting maritime routes, including the Strait of Hormuz.
A joint statement issued by the foreign ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the top diplomat of the European Union, read: “We express our support for our partners in the region in the face of the unjustified attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies.”
The G7 foreign ministers expressed their readiness to take “necessary measures” to support global energy supplies, adding: “We condemn in the strongest terms the regime’s reckless attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, including energy infrastructure.”
These statements come amid an unprecedented escalation by Iran, which in recent weeks has carried out missile and drone attacks on countries in the region in response to Israeli and American attacks.
The escalation also coincides with growing concerns about the threat to international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, through which about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply passes, raising the likelihood of market disruption and higher energy prices if the conflict widens.
