Joint Statement of the G7 Foreign Ministers on Iran and the
Middle East.
"We the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and
the High Representative of the European Union, met in The Hague
on June 25, 2025, where we discussed recent events in the Middle
East.
We reiterate our support for the ceasefire between Israel and
Iran announced by U.S. President Trump, and urge all parties to
avoid actions that could further destabilize the region.
We appreciate Qatar's important role in facilitating the
ceasefire and express our full solidarity to Qatar and Iraq
following the recent strikes by Iran and its proxies and partners
against their territory. We welcome all efforts in the region
towards stabilization and de-escalation.
We reaffirm that the Islamic Republic of Iran can never have
nuclear weapons, and urge Iran to refrain from reconstituting its
unjustified enrichment activities. We call for the resumption of
negotiations, resulting in a comprehensive, verifiable and
durable agreement that addresses Iran's nuclear program.
In order to have a sustainable and credible resolution, we call
on Iran to urgently resume full cooperation with the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as required by its
safeguards obligations and to provide the IAEA with verifiable
information about all nuclear material in Iran, including by
providing access to IAEA inspectors. We condemn calls in Iran for
the arrest and execution of IAEA Director General Grossi.
We underscore the centrality of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty (NPT) as the cornerstone of the global nuclear
non-proliferation regime. It is essential that Iran remains party
to and fully implements its obligations under the Treaty.
We reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle
East. In this context, we reaffirm that Israel has a right to
defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of
Israel."
