The G7 foreign ministers have expressed their willingness to take necessary actions in support of the global energy supply. They strongly denounced the aggressive attacks by the Iranian regime on civilians and critical infrastructure, particularly in various countries like Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Iraq, in accordance with UNSC Resolution 2817.
The ministers emphasized that these unwarranted assaults by Iran pose a significant threat to both regional and global security. They called for an immediate halt to all Iranian regime attacks. Additionally, they underscored the importance of safeguarding maritime routes, navigation safety in vital waterways such as the Strait of Hormuz, and ensuring the stability of energy markets and supply chains.
In line with the joint statement, the ministers also expressed readiness to take required actions to support the global energy supply, such as the recent stockpile release approved by International Energy Agency members on March 11. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump issued a stern ultimatum to Iran via social media, setting a two-day deadline for Iran to cease attacks and open the Strait of Hormuz, warning of severe consequences if the demands are not met within the specified time frame.
