G7 ministers urge end to attacks against civilians in Mideast war
- On Friday, French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noel Barrot and other Foreign Ministers meeting in Cernay-la-Ville, France, demanded an immediate end to civilian attacks and called on Iran to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran's de facto closure of the Strait has surged global energy prices, prompting ministers to focus on efforts "to mitigate global economic shocks such as disruptions to economic, energy, fertiliser and commercial supply chains, which have direct impacts on our citizens."
- Calling for "an immediate cessation of attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure," the group stated, "There can be no justification for the deliberate targeting of civilians in situations of armed conflict as well as attacks on diplomatic facilities."
- President Donald Trump had threatened to strike Iranian energy facilities but rowed back, claiming talks with Tehran were occurring, while Rubio faces pressure from allies amid transatlantic tensions over the US-Israeli conflict.
- "We reiterated the absolute necessity to permanently restore safe and toll-free freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz," the statement added, as this remains central to stabilizing Middle East energy markets.
