Italy, which is the current holder of the G7 presidency, had called a virtual meeting of G7 leaders on Sunday (Apr 14). The development came after United States President Joe Biden vowed a coordinated diplomatic response to Iran's retaliatory drone and missile attack.

"With its actions, Iran has further stepped toward the destabilization of the region and risks provoking an uncontrollable regional escalation. This must be avoided," a statement issued by Italy said.&nbsp;

The G7 heads demanded Iran to exert restraint.

"In this spirit, we demand that Iran and its proxies cease their attacks, and we stand ready to take further measures now and in response to further destabilizing initiatives," it said.

They also vowed to work "towards an immediate and sustainable ceasefire" in Gaza.
