BIARRITZ, France – A top Iranian official crashed the G-7 meeting of world leaders in France on Sunday, a dramatic and unexpected move that seemed likely to highlight U.S. isolation on its handling of Tehran.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said the Islamic Republic's top diplomat, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, had landed in France, according to Iranian state media.
The move came as tensions between the U.S. and Iran are running high. Both countries claimed to shoot down each other's drones in recent weeks. The U.S. and its allies have condemned Iran’s seizure of foreign ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz.
The spokesman’s statement indicated that Zarif would be meeting with other world leaders gathered at the G-7 and specifically mentioned he would not be talking with President Donald Trump or other members of the U.S. delegation.
