The foreign ministers of G7 nations have condemned recent attacks on energy infrastructure

The foreign ministers of G7 nations have said they are “ready to take necessary measures to support global supply of energy”.

In a statement, they said: “We condemn in the strongest terms the (Iran) regime’s reckless attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, including energy infrastructure, in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Iraq, in line with UNSC Resolution 2817.

"The Iranian regime’s unjustifiable attacks against these states also threaten regional and global security.We call for the immediate and unconditional cessation of all attacks by the Iranian regime."

The joint statement continued: “We reaffirm the importance of safeguarding maritime routes, and safety of navigation, including in the Strait of Hormuz and all associated critical waterways, as well as the safety and security of supply chains and the stability of energy markets."

Finally, it ended with: “We stand ready to take necessary measures to support global supply of energy such as the stockpile release decided by International Energy Agency members on March 11.”

US President Donald Trump took to social media to issue a terse warning of his own, taking to his Truth Social account to issue Iran with a two day deadline to cease its attacks.

The 47th US President said: "If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!"
