In a powerful display of transatlantic and global unity, G7 leaders on Sunday denounced Iran’s barrage of attacks on key Gulf infrastructure and innocent civilians, labeling them a direct peril to international peace. The statement, endorsed by foreign ministers from the world’s leading democracies and EU representatives, stands in solidarity with victims from the Arabian Peninsula to Iraq.
‘Deliberate strikes on public safety and vital energy assets in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, and Iraq contravene international norms enshrined in UNSC Resolution 2817,’ the communique asserted. Tehran-backed proxies were singled out for their role in these escalatory moves, which the G7 warned could unravel regional order and disrupt worldwide commerce.
Maritime security took center stage, with urgent calls to protect the Strait of Hormuz and associated sea lanes essential for oil transit. The group committed to bolstering supply chain resilience, referencing recent IEA decisions to tap emergency stockpiles as a bulwark against market volatility.
The declaration revisited Iran’s nuclear pursuits, missile developments, and domestic repression, imploring an unconditional halt. ‘These actions endanger not just neighbors but the global community,’ it cautioned, while backing defensive rights of sovereign states under threat.
Particular outrage was voiced over assaults on Iraqi diplomatic sites and energy hubs, including those in Kurdistan region, aimed at US-led anti-ISIS efforts and local populations. This G7 broadside marks a pivotal moment, rallying collective action to deter further Iranian adventurism and preserve strategic waterways.
