Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani strongly slammed parts of the final statement of the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Hiroshima, Japan, including baseless and fabricated allegations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.






As repeatedly stated before, Iran's nuclear program has only peaceful purposes, and nuclear weapons have no place in the Iranian defense doctrine, the spokesman underlined.

He strongly rejected the selective statement and the illusory claims made by the members of this group that possess nuclear weapons.

While the hegemonic policies of some of the G7 members have created insecurity and instability in the world, and especially the region, they accuse Iran of destabilization.

This is while, Iran has contributed the most to the promotion of stability in the region, including the fight against terrorism, he stressed.

They have based their accusation on an erroneous interpretation of the resolutions of the UN Security Council, of which they themselves are the main violators, Kanaani noted.

In other comments, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman added, "Just as we have reiterated time and again, the Islamic Republic of Iran has never provided drones to Russia in the Ukraine crisis and continues to insist on a peaceful solution in this regard."
