Russia's procurement of Iranian ballistic missiles: G7 foreign ministers' statement, 14 September 2024
Statement by the foreign ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the EU.
We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the EU, condemn in the strongest possible terms Iran바카라 사이트™s export and Russia바카라 사이트™s procurement of Iranian ballistic missiles.
Evidence that Iran has continued to transfer weaponry to Russia despite repeated international calls to stop represents a further escalation of Iran바카라 사이트™s military support to Russia바카라 사이트™s war of aggression against Ukraine. Russia has used Iranian weaponry such as UAVs to kill Ukrainian civilians and strike their critical infrastructure. Russia바카라 사이트™s aggression constitutes a flagrant violation of international law including the UN Charter.
Iran must immediately cease all support to Russia바카라 사이트™s illegal and unjustifiable war against Ukraine and halt such transfers of ballistic missiles, UAVs and related technology, which constitute a direct threat to the Ukrainian people as well as European and international security more broadly.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to hold Iran to account for its unacceptable support for Russia바카라 사이트™s illegal war in Ukraine that further undermines global security. In line with our previous statements on the matter, we are already responding with new and significant measures.
