G7 Joint Statement: 'Iran Can Never Have A Nuclear Weapon'

(MENAFN- Khaama Press) The G7 leaders issued a joint statement declaring that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon, stressing global security.
In a joint statement released on Tuesday, June 17, G7 leaders affirmed Israel's right to self-defense and stressed that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons.

The G7 also urged all parties to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East and called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

According to CNN, European leaders-led by French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer-aimed to secure a unified stance on the Middle East during talks hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The war between Israel and Iran has entered its fifth day, with Israel intensifying its airstrikes on Iranian military facilities. Iran has retaliated with limited missile strikes on Israeli cities, raising concerns over a broader regional conflict.

The ongoing escalation has drawn international attention, with leaders calling for an immediate ceasefire. Despite diplomatic efforts, the situation remains volatile, and fears of further military involvement in the region continue to rise.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly left the summit due to the intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran, returning to Washington for urgent consultations.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the U.S. remains in a defensive posture and will protect its interests across the region.

As the Israel-Iran conflict enters its fifth day, Trump has called for dialogue with Tehran to halt the war and reach a nuclear agreement.

In a warning posted on his social media platform, Trump advised all civilians to evacuate Tehran, further raising concerns of imminent escalation.
