The spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning a communiqué that was issued by the finance ministers of the International Group of Seven (G7). In the statement, Tehran was accused of participating in illegal financial operations.
In a statement that was made public on Thursday, the Spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaani, issued a vehement condemnation of a section of the communiqué that was issued following a meeting of the finance ministers and central bank governors of the G7 countries. This section of the communiqué has brought “completely baseless and bogus allegations” against Iran.
The communiqué that the G7 ministers issued after the completion of their meeting in Niigata, Japan, on May 13 highlighted their extreme worry with what they referred to as the “illicit financing risk emanating from Iran.”
Iran Denies G7 Financial Charges
A representative for the Iranian government stated that the Group of Seven (G7), the country that currently holds the presidency of the G7, and the country that hosted the most recent meeting of the G7 are employing an ineffective and biased strategy in an effort to force their demands on multilateral international bodies.
Instead of leveling such baseless accusations against Tehran, Kanaani advised the G7 to reverse its “deplorable performance” and policy of appeasement in obedience to the illegal US sanctions. These sanctions have violated the fundamental principles of international law and human rights against the great Iranian nation.
“Instead of involvement in and acknowledgment of one-sided and unfair stances, the members of the group (G7) must be held accountable before the noble people of Iran and the international community for such brazen violations and measures that contradict international regulations,” the Iranian spokesman emphasized. “[T]he members of the group (G7) must be held accountable before the international community for such brazen violations and measures that contradict international regulations.”
