Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Thursday condemned the Group of Seven (G7) for backing the reinstatement of UN sanctions on Tehran.



On Wednesday, a communique issued by the G7 foreign ministers expressed support for the activation of the "snapback" mechanism by France, Britain and Germany, collectively known as the E3, to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran. The G7 accused the Iranian government of having continuously failed to meet its obligations under a 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).



Baghaei criticized the G7 statement as "hypocritical and a distortion of reality," saying the G7's endorsement of the E3 and U.S. move to reinstate sanctions on Iran constituted support for an action that "violated international law."
