Iran’s Foreign Ministry has vehemently denounced the “baseless and unfounded” allegations raised against the Islamic Republic in a statement issued by the members of the Group of Seven (G7) Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) and its associate members.

Member states of the G7 Rapid Response Mechanism, together with G7 RRM associate members (Australia and New Zealand), in a statement released on Friday, accused Iran of conducting “transnational repression and other malign activities.”

In a statement released on Sunday, the ministry condemned the G7 allegations as baseless and a mere attempt to divert attention, emphasizing that making false accusations against individuals tasked with protecting Iran’s national security constitutes a clear misrepresentation of the truth.

It characterized the political and economic forum’s approach as a disingenuous attempt by the same entities whose unlawful and destabilizing actions in various areas, especially in West Asia, have fostered lawlessness and intensified insecurity.

The statement emphasized that the United States and other G7 nations – including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom – should be held responsible for their detrimental impact on both regional and global stability, particularly due to their involvement in the Israeli regime’s gross violations of international law, including international humanitarian law and human rights in Palestine, along with their support for infamous terrorist organizations.

At a time when the Zionist regime, receiving complete backing from the US, the UK, Germany, France, and other supporters of the anti-Iranian declaration, is committing massacres and genocide in the occupied Palestinian territories and waging constant wars against regional states, the release of such anti-Iran statements serves no other function than to divert public attention from “the crime of the century” and to obscure the sponsors’ involvement in genocide, the statement noted.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry underscored that the sponsors of such “irresponsible statements” should relinquish their obsolete colonial and supremacist attitudes and rectify their erroneous and unlawful policies regarding Iran and the region, rather than continuing to engage in blame-shifting.
