🔶 The Group of Seven's emphasis on curbing nuclear weapons and increasing pressure on Tehran.
At the end of their two-day meeting in Paris (November 9 and 10), the foreign ministers of the G7 countries adopted firm positions regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear program, maritime security, and regional and international movements by issuing joint statements.
The senior diplomats of the Group of Seven supported the efforts of regional mediators to reach a sustainable agreement by stressing that "Iran will never acquire nuclear weapons."
However, this statement said that in the absence of a diplomatic solution, these countries will continue to coordinate to impose economic and political restrictions against the Iranian government.
The group also insisted on its commitment to fully implement the UN Security Council sanctions redefined in September 2025 through the "trigger mechanism" (Resolution 2231).
The member states called on Tehran to return to full cooperation with the IAEA and to restore the transparency of its nuclear program. The Group of Seven strongly condemned Iran's attacks on neighboring countries and the disruption of the global economy by making the passage through the Strait of Hormuz unsafe.
These countries, while opposing any imposition of tolls, illegal costs or restrictions on this waterway, supported the operation of clearing mines and escorting the civilian fleet by the US Central Command - CENTCOM, as well as the independent defense initiative of Great Britain and France.
In another part of the statement, Iran was specifically called upon to stop supporting and arming non-governmental armed militant groups in the Middle East, including the Houthis in Yemen.
The foreign ministers of seven industrialized countries in the world expressed their concern about Iran's involvement in "violent plots" on their soil.
Referring to the September 27 incident at Farford Air Base, they supported the British position regarding Iran's involvement in this incident and warned Tehran that they are united in defending their national sovereignty. In addition to this, the provision of military aid and weapons by Iran and North Korea to Russia to advance the war in Ukraine was also strongly condemned by this group.
