Iran's Foreign Ministry has vehemently rejected recent allegations by G7 members and their allies, labeling them "baseless and irresponsible" in a Sunday statement. The diplomatic clash comes after Friday's G7 communiqué accused Tehran of "transnational repression" and targeting political dissidents abroad through alleged kidnap plots and harassment campaigns.
"These claims are a flagrant distortion of realities," the Iranian statement asserted, countering that G7 nations themselves bear responsibility for "spreading law-breaking and insecurity globally." The ministry specifically criticized Western support for Israel's actions in Palestinian territories, urging G7 members to address their "complicity in flagrant violations of international law" instead of leveling accusations.
The exchange highlights escalating tensions between Iran and Western powers amid ongoing regional conflicts. Analysts suggest the public rebuke could impact upcoming diplomatic engagements, though both sides maintain their positions reflect commitments to regional stability.
