G7 welcomes Iran-US agreement and backs implementation

The Group of Seven (G7) nations have welcomed the recently announced agreement between Iran and the United States, expressing support for its implementation and reaffirming their commitment to regional stability and international cooperation.

In a joint statement, the G7 countries said they support the Iran-US agreement and stand ready to play a constructive role in ensuring its effective implementation. The group described the agreement as a positive step toward reducing tensions and promoting diplomatic engagement in a region that has faced prolonged uncertainty.

The statement also highlighted the importance of maintaining freedom of navigation through international maritime routes. G7 leaders emphasized that unrestricted and toll-free access to global sea lanes remains a cornerstone of international trade and economic stability. The issue has gained significance amid concerns over disruptions to key shipping corridors in the Middle East.

In addition to addressing the Iran-US agreement, the G7 expressed support for an immediate and durable ceasefire in Lebanon. The group also backed efforts by Lebanese leadership to disarm Hezbollah and strengthen state authority across the country. According to the statement, sustainable peace and security in Lebanon require political stability and the consolidation of national institutions.

The leaders further pledged to reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz for energy supplies and increase strategic energy reserves. The move reflects ongoing efforts by major economies to strengthen energy security and minimize risks associated with regional instability.

The G7 also underscored the importance of a free, open, and rules-based Indo-Pacific region. The statement reaffirmed the group’s commitment to international law, freedom of navigation, and regional cooperation in the strategically important area.

The G7 is composed of seven major industrialized democracies: the United States, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada.
