G7 Foreign Ministers Split Over U.S. Military Strategy in Iran War
Foreign ministers from the G7 nations met in Vaux-de-Cernay, France, on March 27, 2026, revealing deep divisions over the ongoing U.S.-led offensive against Iran. While U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Operation Epic Fury as necessary to end the nuclear threat, French and British officials expressed skepticism, favoring a defensive posture and a return to diplomatic mediation.
