JAKARTA - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a meeting with foreign ministers of G7 countries. They agreed Iran should not develop nuclear weapons.
During a meeting that took place on the sidelines of the NATO summit in The Hague, the Netherlands, Rubio and the G7 foreign ministers discussed US President Donald Trump's firm action against Iran's main nuclear facility, US State Department spokesman Tammy Bruce said.
"They agreed Iran would never develop or acquire nuclear weapons, and review the next steps to promote lasting peace between Israel and Iran," Bruce said.
He said the G7 foreign ministers had also discussed peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, increasing cooperation over alleged China's activities that disrupted stability in the South China Sea, as well as the role of their country in "maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region."
The escalation of the conflict in the Middle East escalated on June 13, when Israel launched a massive offensive against Iran on the grounds that Tehran carried out a secret military nuclear program. Iran retaliated by attacking the Israeli military.
On June 22, the US decided to participate in the conflict by attacking three Iranian nuclear facilities located in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
