The main agenda item for the meeting, which will be attended by foreign ministers from Germany, the United States, England, Canada, France, Italy, and Japan, will be the Russia-Ukraine war and aid to Ukraine.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said, “Russia, attacking Ukraine, caused a global crisis by violating international law.

Due to the war, 25 million tons of grain was kept in Odessa, Millions of people in countries of the Middle East and the Africa are waiting for aid. Russian President Putin aims to divide the world with this war. As the G7 countries, we oppose this and want to ensure that 141 countries that condemn the war are not let down,” she said, adding that they will continue to support Ukraine.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a stern warning to the UK, Germany, and France, accusing them of making a “new strategic mistake” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. In a social media post, Arakchi said, “Iran will give a tough and determined response to the violation of its rights,” criticizing the European trio for backing a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors.

Arakchi condemned the move as baseless, recalling past disputes in 2005 which led to the expansion of Iran’s uranium enrichment. “Have these three really not learned any lessons in the last twenty years?” he said.

Meanwhile, the IAEA reported on May 31 that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile had grown from 274.8 kg in February to 408.6 kg by May 17. In response, the UK, Germany, and France are reportedly preparing to refer Iran’s file to the UN Security Council, which could activate the “snapback” mechanism and reimpose UN sanctions.
