Foreign ministers from wealthy G7 economies said Iran was a threat to international peace and security and all available evidence indicates it was behind an attack on the Mercer Street tanker last week . “All the available evidence clearly points to Iran. There is no justification for this attack,” said the statement issued by the current G7 chairman, the United Kingdom. The vessel was a Japanese oil tanker, flying the Liberian flag, operated by the Israeli company Zodiac Maritime. Officials in Tehran have denied any involvement in the alleged drone attack in which two crew members – a Briton and a Romanian – were killed. Nonetheless, the UK, US and others criticized Iran for the attack. “Iran’s behavior, alongside its support for proxy forces and armed non-state actors, threatens international peace and security,” the G7 statement said. “We call on Iran to cease all activities inconsistent with relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and call on all parties to play a constructive role in promoting regional stability and peace.” The issue was discussed in a closed-door meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Friday, but the 15-member body is unlikely to take any action.
