“We, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the G7 of Germany, Canada, of the United States of America, France, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, as well as the high representative of the European Union, we gathered in The Hague on June 25, 2025 in order to discuss the events recently in the Middle East.
“We reaffirm our support for the ceasefire between Israel and Iran announced by US President Trump, and urge all parties to avoid any action likely to destabilize the region more.
“We welcome the important role played by Qatar in the facilitation of the ceasefire and express our full solidarity with Qatar and Iraq following the recent strikes by Iran and its agents and partners against their territory. We greet all the efforts made in the region in favor of stabilization and de -escalation.
“We reaffirm that the Islamic Republic of Iran cannot, in any case, have nuclear weapons and we urge Iran to refrain from reconstructing its unjustified enrichment activities. We call for the resumption of negotiations in order to achieve an exhaustive, verifiable and sustainable agreement which remedies the Iranian nuclear program.
“In order to arrive at a lasting and credible solution, we call on Iran to urgently resume its full collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA), in accordance with its guarantees in terms of guarantees, and to provide the AIEA verifiable information on all nuclear materials in Iran, in particular by giving access to IEA inspectors. We condemn the calls launched in Iran for the arrest and execution of the Director General of the IAEA, Mr. Grossi.
“We highlight the central role of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (TNP) as the cornerstone of the International Nuclear Non-Proliferation Regime. It is essential that Iran remains a party to the Treaty and fully fulfills the obligations which are incumbent upon by virtue of the latter.
“We reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. In this context, we reaffirm that Israel has the right to defend itself. We reiterate our security support for Israel. »»
