G7 foreign ministers meet for session on Peace and Security

G7 foreign ministers (with the EU) met in France and reported deep divisions over the Iran war while jointly calling for an immediate halt to attacks on civilian populations and infrastructure. The lack of unity reduces the chance of a coordinated policy response, keeping geopolitical risk elevated and potentially supporting risk premia in energy and defense sectors; monitor for any follow-up sanctions or military-assistance announcements that could move markets.
