Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei strongly rejected and condemned what he called "baseless claims" made by the foreign ministers of the G7 during a statement released in Rome on Tuesday.

What is stated in this statement is a reflection of the illegal, unjust, unilateral, discriminatory, and coercive approaches of Group of 7 (G7), especially some of its members, which have caused irreparable damages to the international peace and security, he said, adding, “A clear example of effects of this irresponsible approach has been the all-out support of some members of G7 for genocide and warmongering of the occupying regime of Israel in Gaza and Lebanon," The Caspian Post reports, citing Iranian media.

It is a matter of regret to say that the influential members of G7 have severely discredited the principle of rule of law in international relations with their double-standard and selective behavior towards various international issues, Iranian diplomat emphasized.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian foreign ministry’s spokesman strongly rejected the baseless and repeated claims in the statement about shipment of weapons to Russia, creating tension in the region, and the human rights situation in Iran, emphasizing that Islamic Republic of Iran, based on its inherent right to self-defense which is a principle emphasized in the United Nations Charter and the international law, reserves the right to respond to the Zionist regime’s [Israel] aggression against Iran's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

With its thorough knowledge towards its responsibilities in regional security and stability, Islamic Republic of Iran spares no effort in this regard, Baghaei added.

Iran “categorically rejects” any allegations suggesting its involvement in the sale, export, or transfer of arms in violation of its international commitments to Russia as “misleading, completely unfounded.”

Tehran has also repeatedly dismissed Western allegations of its involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war.
