Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) nations on March 28, 2026, called for an immediate halt to attacks targeting civilians and critical infrastructure in the ongoing Iran war, emphasizing the urgent need to reduce humanitarian and economic fallout. The appeal came in a joint statement issued during a high-level meeting in France, where leaders highlighted growing concerns over civilian safety and regional stability.
The ministers stressed that protecting civilian populations remains a top priority, noting that continued attacks on infrastructure and non-combatants risk deepening the crisis. They underscored the importance of coordinated international efforts to limit the conflict’s broader consequences, including disruptions to global supply chains, energy markets, and economic stability that could directly affect citizens worldwide.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said the G7 remains firmly committed to minimizing the war’s impact, reiterating that no justification exists for targeting civilians. He emphasized that safeguarding human life must remain central to any military or political response, as tensions continue to escalate in the region.
A key focus of the discussions was the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic maritime route critical to global energy supplies. The G7 ministers called for the restoration of safe and unrestricted navigation through the passage, warning that instability in the corridor could significantly disrupt international oil and trade flows.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to coordinate closely with European counterparts, including briefing the European Union’s Council of Foreign Affairs, as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to ease tensions and address the standoff in the region.
Separately, European Union energy ministers are set to convene an emergency virtual meeting to assess the conflict’s impact on energy security across Europe. The meeting, organized under Cyprus’ rotating EU presidency, will focus on safeguarding supply stability amid rising uncertainty linked to the Iran war.

A powerful 7.6 magnitude earthquake recently struck near Tonga, located at a considerable depth of 238 km beneath the Earth’s surface. While the depth of the quake has reduced the immediate risk of damage or a tsunami, the event is still drawing attention from scientists, as it is part of an unsettling pattern of seismic activity in the region. The epicenter, located over 150 km from the town of Neiafu, lies along the Tonga Trench, one of the most tectonically active areas in the world.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian strongly condemned what he described as a barbaric attack on a school in southern Iran on Saturday, following a series of strikes carried out by the United States and Israel that have intensified the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. In an official statement, Pezeshkian said the incident marked another dark chapter in what he called a pattern of aggression against the country, and warned that the violence could further destabilize the region. According to Iranian authorities, at least 63 people were killed in the attack, with dozens more injured, making it one of the deadliest incidents reported since the latest escalation began.
Israeli officials stated that the strikes were aimed at high-level targets connected to Iran’s leadership and military planning. A military spokesperson said multiple locations where senior Iranian figures had gathered were hit simultaneously, resulting in the elimination of individuals considered critical to the country’s campaign management and governance. The strikes were described as part of a broader effort to weaken Iran’s operational capabilities, though details about those killed were not immediately confirmed by independent sources.
The developments prompted urgent diplomatic activity at the United Nations, where the security council scheduled an emergency session in New York to address the growing crisis. Diplomats said the meeting was requested by several member states, including Russia and China, who described the strikes as an act of armed aggression and called for immediate international discussion. France, Bahrain, and Colombia also supported the request, reflecting widespread concern over the risk of a wider regional war.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is expected to address the council and has already urged all sides to halt military actions. In a statement issued earlier, he warned that continued use of force could undermine international peace and security and lead to severe consequences for civilians across the Middle East. Guterres called for an immediate ceasefire and a return to diplomatic negotiations, stressing that only dialogue could prevent the conflict from expanding further and threatening global stability.
