US EditionG7 ready to act to protect global energy supplies, backs Hormuz Strait security
The G7 commits to safeguarding energy routes and supporting regional partners as Iran's actions disrupt oil and gas shipments, risking global supply shortages, the group said.
- On March 22, 2026, the Group of Seven said they 'stand ready to take necessary measures to support the global supply of energy' and urged safeguarding the Strait of Hormuz.
- After Israel struck Iran's largest gas field, Iran retaliated and allied statements condemned the "de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces," heightening threats to shipping and Qatar-linked assets.
- An Iranian missile struck Dimona, Israel, with the Israeli army reporting a direct hit on a building while Magen David Adom treated 33 injured people at multiple sites.
- The US military said it destroyed an Iranian bunker threatening oil shipments with 5,000-pound bombs, and Admiral Brad Cooper said, 'We not only took out the facility, but also destroyed intelligence support sites and missile radar relays that were used to monitor ship movements'.
- Looking ahead, the G7 reiterated that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon and upheld the right of countries attacked by Iran to defend themselves and secure maritime supply chains.
