Iran: G7 accusations ‘baseless, irresponsible’

Iran has categorically rejected the latest accusations raised against Tehran by foreign ministers of the Group of Seven, describing them as “baseless and irresponsible.”

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Sunday accusing Iran of destabilizing actions in the region was ridiculous, when G7 members, including the US, Canada and three European countries, are main supporters of Israel’s genocide.

Esmaeil Baghaei underlined Iran's legitimate right to defend its people and sovereignty against any threat and aggression.

He said in addition to Iran's national security, the Islamic Republic’s defense capabilities are also meant to protect peace and security in West Asia.

Baghaei also touched on Iran's peaceful nuclear program, saying it is being implemented according to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Safeguards Agreement.

He said Israel is the only obstacle to a nuclear-weapons-free West Asia region.

Baghaei stressed that the regime is threatening international peace and security by developing weapons of mass destruction with the complete support of G7 members.
