WASHINGTON – The Group of Seven Foreign Ministers, G7, comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom,  the United States of America and the High Representative of the European Union have condemned Iran for allegedly shipping weapons to Russia who is currently waging war on Ukraine.

In a statement, the group said it condemns in the strongest possible terms Iran’s export and Russia’s procurement of Iranian ballistic missiles.

“Evidence that Iran has continued to transfer weaponry to Russia despite repeated international calls to stop represents a further escalation of Iran’s military support to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine”, the group said, adding that Russia has used Iranian weaponry such as UAVs to kill Ukrainian civilians and strike their critical infrastructure.  Russia’s aggression constitutes a flagrant violation of international law including the UN Charter.

“Iran must immediately cease all support to Russia’s illegal and unjustifiable war against Ukraine and halt such transfers of ballistic missiles, UAVs and related technology, which constitute a direct threat to the Ukrainian people as well as European and international security more broadly.

“We remain steadfast in our commitment to hold Iran to account for its unacceptable support for Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine that further undermines global security.  In line with our previous statements on the matter, we are already responding with new and significant measures”, the G7 Foreign ministers said.
