TEHRAN (Tasnim) The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the Group of Sevens statement on Irans nuclear issue, describing it as deceitful and a distortion of the facts.
- Politics news -In a statement released on Thursday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said the G7 member states welcoming of the unlawful and unjustified action by the three European countries and the US to revive the terminated Security Council resolutions against Iranan action carried out through abuse of the JCPOAs dispute settlement mechanism and without any legal or logical basisamounts to their support for a measure that blatantly violates international law.
He stressed that the position taken by the G7 cannot in any way alter the illegal and unjustified nature of that action.
Recalling the Israeli regimes military aggression against Iran during diplomatic negotiationswith the coordination and complicity of the USfollowed by Americas direct attack on Irans nuclear facilities, the spokesperson dismissed as utterly false the G7s claim that the three European countries and the US have repeatedly put forward diplomatic solutions in good faith to prevent the snapback and to reach a comprehensive and durable negotiated outcome.
He underscored that it was in fact the United States which, by its unlawful and unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018 and its subsequent persistent violations of international law regarding Iran and its obstruction of the deals implementation, bears full responsibility for the current situation.
The three European countries, by following Washington, failing to uphold their obligations, and supporting the US and the Israeli regime in their military aggression against Irans peaceful nuclear facilities, not only committed material non-performance of their JCPOA commitments, but also deliberately disregarded all of Irans initiatives and efforts at diplomacy, Baqaei underlined.
He further pointed to the G7 countries indifference toward the genocidal Zionist regimes nuclear arsenal, describing their stance on non-proliferation as hypocritical.
The Iranian spokesman emphasized that, given their duplicitous and irresponsible conduct with respect to the rule of law and international peace and security, these seven countries lack any moral authority to lecture others.
