Foreign ministers from 29 countries, including the US, Britain, France and Germany, have condemned what they described as Iran’s use of violent attacks, including lethal plotting, arson, sabotage and cyberattacks, against their countries and partners.
In a joint statement, the ministers said they recognised Britain’s attribution of Iran’s involvement in an incident at RAF Fairford on September 27.
The UK concluded that the incident demonstrated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ continued willingness to carry out hostile activities beyond Iran’s borders through covert networks and proxy actors, the statement said.
The condemnation follows a recent campaign of attacks across Europe targeting Jewish communities, Iranian journalists and US interests, which were claimed by Harakat Ashab Al Yamin Al Islamia (HAYI), the ministers said.
“Any attempt by Iran to threaten, silence, intimidate, harass, harm, or coerce people on our territories through proxies or any other means is unacceptable,” the statement said.
The ministers warned that anyone conducting hostile activities on behalf of Iran or any other state would face efforts to identify, investigate, disrupt and prosecute such acts.
They said the countries remained united in safeguarding their sovereignty, strengthening international coordination, bolstering national resilience, protecting their communities and ensuring those responsible were held accountable.
The statement was issued by the foreign ministers of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US.
