Iran slams G7 statement for ignoring Israel’s blatant aggression
Iran has sharply condemned a G7 statement on the conflict between Israel and the Islamic Republic.
The group of major Western democracies, meeting in Canada, called Iran “the principal source of regional instability and terror’’ and emphasised Israel’s right to self-defence.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei, said in a statement that the G7 had ignored “Israel’s blatant aggression’’ against Iran.
He also said there had been “illegal attacks on our peaceful nuclear infrastructure, the indiscriminate targeting of residential areas, and the killing of our citizens.’’
Baghaei alleged that Israel had launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran.
He referred to Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which prohibits attacks on another country.
Hundreds of civilians had been killed, the spokesman added.
Israel began its attacks on Iran on Friday, hitting nuclear facilities, military installations, and several cities.
The airstrikes, specifically, targeted leading nuclear scientists and high-ranking commanders.
In response, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has launched missile attacks on Israel. (Dpa/NAN)
