Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday rejected a joint statement by the Group of Seven (G7) nations that accused Tehran of targeting political opponents beyond its borders.
In an official statement, the ministry described the allegations as “fabricated and unfounded,” arguing that those responsible for protecting Iran’s national security were being wrongfully targeted. “The fabrication of unfounded accusations against those responsible for safeguarding Iran’s national security is a blatant distortion of reality and a deceitful attempt by the authors of such statements, whose own illegal and destabilizing actions across various regions, especially in West Asia, have promoted lawlessness and heightened insecurity,” the statement read.
Tehran also countered by accusing the United States and G7 members of jeopardizing regional and global stability. It held them responsible for supporting the “Zionist regime” and for complicity in what it called violations of international law.
The rejection highlights the growing tensions between Iran and Western nations, as G7 countries have increasingly criticized Tehran for its regional policies, nuclear program, and alleged overseas operations.
