A joint statement issued by the British government today, Wednesday, reported that the foreign ministers of the G7 expressed during their meeting in Paris this week their "deep concern over Iran's involvement in violent plots."
The G7 ministers also supported Britain's accusation against Iran of involvement in an incident that occurred at the Fairford airbase of the Royal Air Force on September 27, while the Iranian ambassador to Britain denied any involvement of Tehran in the matter.
The meeting, which was moved at the last minute from Marseille to Paris for security reasons following protests across France that lasted for weeks, saw U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio appear before the allies for the first time since the elections. Rubio is seen as a potential candidate for the U.S. presidency in 2028.
Iran was expected to strongly dominate the discussions. Washington's allies from the G7 countries repeatedly expressed their suspicions about the war and their concerns that any further U.S. military action could exacerbate the crisis rather than solve it.
Rubio, on his way to Paris, downplayed the chances of reaching an agreement with Iran, which was a key issue that led voters to withdraw their support from Donald Trump.
Authorities in Britain had charged two Muslim men with endangering national security, as part of the investigation into the incident that occurred near Fairford airbase in the southwest of England.
Prosecutors said they charged the men with crimes under the National Security Act, related to an incident that occurred in September at the Fairford base of the Royal Air Force.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham also stated in parliament on October 12 that the incident was "almost certainly" executed under the direction of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. However, Tehran has repeatedly denied any involvement in the case.
