G7 Leaders’ Statement on Recent Developments Between Israel And Iran.

June 17, 2025

We, the leaders of the G7, reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. 

In this context, we affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself.  We reiterate our support for the security of Israel.

We also affirm the importance of the protection of civilians.

Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror.

We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. 

We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza. 

We will remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability.
