Tehran “is the principal source of regional instability and terror,” declare G7 leaders in a joint statement.

The leaders of the G7 countries on Monday issued a joint statement saying Iran should not have nuclear weapons and affirming Israel’s right to defend itself.

“Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,” declared the statement, issued by the leaders of the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan, along with the EU.

They pledged to “remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability.”

    Israel is the principal source of regional instability and terror and everyone and his dog knows this.

    The kowtowing to Trump and his Zionist sponsors by the client states of the US Empire is an insult to objective reality.

      Please don’t make Iran out to be some sort of victim in all this. What Israel is doing is wrong, but Iran has funded a lot of terrorists throughout the years, and execute people in medival ways for holding hands with the “wrong” person.

      The iranian government is pure fucking evil and deserves to die horrible deaths for what they instigate and fund around the world and in their local area.

          So let me get this straight. Because one of the countries in this war is comitting genocide, the other country MUST be a victim of the war? Was the Soviet Union a victim when Germany attacked them?

          No. Israel is committing genocide. We all fucking know this, no need to point it out. Iran is a theorcratic rule that tortures people for holding hands with the wrong sex. They regard women as household items. Iran is not a fucking victim. The iranian government needs to fucking suffer violently, preferably by the hands of their own people, but Israel will do.

        The Iranian government is strictly less evil than every government that has supported Israels genocide, which is basically all of the West, including, for example, Ukraine. Are you going to b say “please don’t make Ukraine out as some victim in all this, they’re pure evil and deserve to die horrible deaths”? Will you say that the EU governments do for what they instigate and fund around the world?

        Or are you just a white supremacist?

        It’s a deep sarcasm that Western oil companies destabilized the Iranian monarchy, that * shockingly* wanted a piece of the pie in such a way it paved the way for islamist extremists to gain power.

        Ian used to be pretty liberal and western minded, however westen meddling caused this extreme government.

        But God forbid they get the means to (to use the Israeli turn off phrase) ‘defend’ itself, that would be horrendous.

          Yes, yes, we all know Iran used to be liberal a very long time ago.

          That ship has sailed, and the current regime isn’t great, to say the very least.

          Nuclear bombs would not be used to defend Iran. They would be used to defend Khamenei. In the same way that nukes are for defending that shit stain in Israel and not Israel.

            Ik no fan of the current regime, I think both Israel and Iran would benefit from a regime change. There’s nothing more moral on the Israeli side to explain them deserving nukes over anyone in that region.

            But the hypocrisy is that the Western world directly caused this shit.

        This is Western imperial propaganda to obfuscate the fundamentally anti colonial nature of Hamas and Hezbollah by labelling them as Islamic terrorists.

        The real islamic extremists like Al Qaeda and ISIS were in fact sponsored by the CIA.

        I’m so sick of Americans with no clue about the region coming up with Hasbara inserted talking points about Iran. As someone who.lived through the lies on Iraq’s WMDs , which was also cheered by Netanyahu, it is depressing deja vu.

          What evidence do you have that presents hezbollah and hamas as being anti-imperialist?

            The evidence is that Israel is a settler colony established and supported by the Western colonial powers.

        …and it’s supposed to be a secret because God forbid having to comply with international treaties on nukes. Well it’s not like they respect international law anyway right? But the ones on nukes they just bypass and no one bats an eye
