Bahrain has welcomed the joint statement issued by the G7 countries and the European Commission, reaffirming support for the security, sovereignty, and safety of partner countries in the region.

The statement strongly condemned “reckless and unjustified Iranian attacks” targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, including energy facilities, across GCC countries, Jordan, and Iraq.

It also affirmed the right of nations to defend their territories and citizens in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised the G7 statement, which includes the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Japan, for pledging to defend energy supplies amid rising maritime threats in the Strait of Hormuz.

The statement highlighted the importance of stabilizing global energy markets, ensuring the safety of commercial transit, and addressing the growing instability in this vital international shipping route.

The ministry also noted the G7’s renewed assurances that Iran does not possess a nuclear weapon, and welcomed their call for Tehran to halt its ballistic missile program and end destabilizing activities both regionally and globally.

Bahrain affirmed that the G7’s stance underscores the importance of collective security, regional stability, and the protection of international energy routes.
