The G7 issued a clear message for de-escalation in the Middle East. "We call on all parties to work to prevent further escalation," the communiqué said.
The G7 will continue to support Ukraine's right to self-defense and reaffirm its commitment to Ukraine's long-term security, it added. The Seven then state that "if Iran were to proceed with the supply of ballistic missiles or related technologies to Russia, we are ready to respond in a rapid and coordinated manner, including with new and significant measures. "We will hold the Iranian government accountable for its harmful and destabilizing actions and stand ready to take additional sanctions or other measures, now and in response to further destabilizing initiatives," they said in the final communique of the Capri summit, which took place on April 19-20.
