The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman has hit out at some European leaders and the finance ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) nations as well as some US and European officials for releasing statements and making allegations against the Islamic Republic of Iran on the recent developments in West Asia.

Nasser Kanaani rejected and slammed the accusations, saying "Such stances and claims are in accordance with the well-established approach of these circles and are based on their double and contradictory standards and behaviors."

He expressed regret that the so-called claimants and harbingers of international rights and standards adopted a passive and encouraging stance on the aggressor Zionist regime in reaction to the regime's recent attack on Iran's diplomatic premises in the Syrian capita Damascus, which was a "gross violation of the provisions of the UN Charter and international conventions."

"Following that, they condemned Iran's legitimate move and proportionate and deterrent response to the source of the armed aggression," the spokesman noted.

Kanaani stated, "Expressing concern for peace, security, and stability in the region and the world by governments such as the US and several European countries, that have been the perpetrators and supporters of the biggest wars, occupations and insecurities in West Asia for over half a century, and have backed and provided immunity to the occupying, apartheid and criminal regime of Israel above all international law and resolutions, is ridiculous."

Kanaani asserted that the EU leaders and G7 member states should have appreciated Iran for "its proportionate and legitimate action in punishing the aggressor and stop providing blind support for the Zionist regime that threatens regional and international peace and security."

He also called on them to "express sympathy and solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people and the families of over a hundred thousand martyred, wounded and missing Palestinians as victims of six months of genocide and crimes by the Israeli regime in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in Palestine."

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson underlined that "the European officials and G7 member states know full well that the main root cause of the crisis and instability in West Asia and, of course, on a larger scale in the world, is the occupation of Palestine and the crimes the Zionist regime has committed in the occupied territories for several decades by depriving the oppressed Palestinian people of their basic and inalienable rights."

He added, "Undoubtedly, turning a blind eye to the obvious facts and baseless accusations against others by the US and Europe will not resolve the problem of regional and international security."

The spokesperson further said, "If the US, the EU, and G7 member states are really after sustainable peace and stability in West Asia and the Red Sea, they need to stand up against the Zionist regime's aggressions and bullying, instead of leveling accusations against others."

"It is obvious that as long as there is no determination to put a halt to the Israeli regime's crimes and the flagrant breach of international regulations by the Zionists, there will be no clear perspective on the path towards sustainable peace in the region and the world," he warned.

Kanaani added, "the responsibility for the ongoing instabilities and insecurities lies and will lie with no one but the Zionist regime and its supporters and encouragers."

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stressed that the Iranian government and armed forces will continue to act responsibly for regional and international peace and security and will remain committed to international law and regulations.

He asserted, "When it comes to defending national security and interests and giving a decisive, remorseful and deterrent response to the aggressors, they will not hesitate an iota and will not be affected by the political and propaganda fanfare of those who created the status quo in the region and the world."
