Iran Lambasts G7 Countries: ‘Stop Your One-Sided Rhetoric And Warn Israel To End Aggression’
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated this in a statement by its spokesman Esmail Baghaei, saying that the G7 leaders’ call for “de-escalation” while stressing Israel’s right to defend itself is insufficient.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has criticised the G7 countries leaders for ignoring what it describes as Israel’s “cruel aggression” against the country.
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated this in a statement by its spokesman Esmail Baghaei, saying that the G7 leaders’ call for “de-escalation” while stressing Israel’s right to defend itself is insufficient.
“The G7 member states, especially the three permanent members of the UN Security Council, must assume their legal and moral responsibility for this blatant act of aggression against a UN member state,” Baghaei said in a social media post.
Baghaei emphasised that Iran is defending itself against “cruel aggression” and that stability in the region will only come after an “immediate end to Israel’s aggression.”
“Hundreds of innocent people have been killed, our public and state facilities and people’s homes are brutally demolished and hospitals & health centers are targeted,” he added.
The G7 leaders, including US President Donald Trump, called for de-escalation in the region while affirming Israel’s right to defend itself.
However, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman believes this approach ignores the reality of the situation and fails to hold Israel accountable for its action.
The statemnet partly read: “G7 Leaders’ statement has revealingly disregarded Israel’s blatalnt aggression against #Iran, and the unlawful attacks on our peaceful nuclear infrastructure as well as indiscriminate targetting of residential areas and killing of our citizens.
Member States of G7, in particular the three permanent members of the #United_Nations Security Council (UNSC) must shoulder their legal and moral responsibility towards an egregious act of aggression against a UN memer. They have to call a spade a spade. Israel’s war of aggression on Iran is a detrimental blow to the UN Charter and Charter-based international law. It is also an unprecedented attack on the tenets of non-proliferation regime and the legal protection it is supposed to grant to non-nuclear states against any such atttacks.
“Israel has launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran and attacked Iran’s nuclear sites in violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and in defiance of prohibition of use/threat of force against peaceful nuclear facilities.
“Hundreds of innocent people have been killed, our public and state facilities and people’s homes are brutally demolished and hospitals & health centers are targeted,” he said.
“Iran is defending itself against a cruel aggression. Does Iran really have any other choice?
“The UNSC and its Member States must not defeat the very purpose of the United Nations. The UNSC members should, shall and must ACT NOW in furtherance of the Council’s primary responsibility and stop the aggressor from committing more atrocities.
“The path to regional stability requires an immediate end to Israel’s aggression and accountability for its violations of international law.
“The G7 must abandon its one-sided rhetoric and address the real source of escalation: Israel’s AGGRESSION.”
