The Group of Seven (G7) nations issued a statement addressing the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel during their summit in Canada. The G7 leaders have effectively taken Israel’s side, accusing Iran of being the "main source of regional instability and terrorism," according to a report by The Guardian.
In their statement, the G7 leaders affirmed Israel’s right to self-defense and reiterated their support for Israel’s security. They also emphasized that Iran must never possess nuclear weapons and called for a resolution to the crisis. The G7 comprises the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Canada, and Italy, with the presence of the European Council and European Commission Presidents noted in the statement.
The conflict between Iran and Israel has entered its fifth day, with analysts warning that it could potentially spread across the Middle East. According to a BBC live report, Israel launched an attack on Iran’s state television headquarters yesterday, temporarily halting its broadcasting operations. Several staff members were reportedly killed or injured in the attack, though broadcasting later resumed.
On Friday morning, Israel initiated a large-scale attack on Iran, prompting retaliatory strikes from Iran on Israel. Since then, both nations have engaged in tit-for-tat attacks. Israeli strikes in Iran have resulted in over 200 deaths, including senior military officials, commanders, and at least 11 nuclear scientists. Meanwhile, Iranian attacks have claimed more than 20 lives in Israel.
