Biased G7 criticism: Iran rejects criticism of missile strike on Israel.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called the condemnation by the Group of Seven (G7) of their attack on Israel "biased and irresponsible".
Tehran's missile strike on Israel, which saw over 180 rockets launched, was a response to the killings of militants and aggression in Gaza and Lebanon.
This was reported by Reuters.
A week ago, an Israeli airstrike in Beirut claimed the life of the deputy commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Abbas Nilforoushan, and the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, supported by Iran.
G7 leaders condemned Iran's attack and expressed "deep concern" over the crisis in the Middle East, however, they stated that a diplomatic resolution to the conflict is still possible and is not in the interests of either side.
A representative of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned G7 countries, particularly the United States, that their support for Israel increases danger and instability in Western Asia. He noted that these countries provide Israel with financial and political support.
The Ministry announced that it summoned the ambassadors of Germany and Austria after they summoned Iranian representatives in their countries to condemn the missile strike on Israel.
In its statement, the Ministry also mentioned that if European countries took effective actions, including withholding financial and military support, they could stop the violence and genocide committed by the Zionist regime of Israel.
