In a joint statement released on Saturday, the ministers said they are prepared to take “necessary measures” to ensure the stability of energy flows amid rising tensions in the region, News.az reports, citing Reuters.

The G7 — which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, along with the European Union’s top diplomat — strongly condemned attacks targeting civilians and critical infrastructure, particularly energy facilities.
“We condemn in the strongest terms the regime’s reckless attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, including energy infrastructure,” the ministers said.
The developments come amid growing concerns that instability in the region could disrupt one of the world’s most vital oil transit routes, potentially impacting global markets.
