Foreign Ministers from 30 countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have issued a joint statement strongly condemning Iran's use of 'violent attacks'. These attacks include 'lethal plotting, arson, sabotage, cyber-attacks, and other hybrid activities' against the signatory nations and their partners.
The statement specifically acknowledged the United Kingdom's attribution of Iran's involvement in an incident at RAF Fairford on 27 September. The UK has concluded that this event demonstrates the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) 'continued willingness to project hostile activity beyond its borders through covert networks and proxy actors'.
The ministers stated that any attempt by Iran to 'threaten, silence, intimidate, harass, harm, or coerce people on our territories through proxies or any other means is unacceptable'. They affirmed that action would be taken to 'identify, investigate, disrupt, and prosecute' anyone conducting hostile activities on behalf of Iran or any other state. The statement concluded by asserting that the nations are united in safeguarding their sovereignty, strengthening international coordination, and ensuring accountability.
