Iran denounces G7's anti-Tehran claims as baseless and irresponsible

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Thursday rejected the anti-Tehran claims made in a recent Group of Seven (G7) statement, calling them "baseless and irresponsible."



He made the remarks in a statement released by the ministry in response to a joint communique issued by foreign ministers of the G7 countries on Wednesday at the end of their meeting in Canada's Niagara region.



In the statement, the G7 foreign ministers condemned Iran for allegedly providing military support to Russia in its war with Ukraine and urged Tehran to fully comply with its obligations under UN Security Council resolutions and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and to resume full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), including through enabling inspections of all nuclear facilities and materials.
