Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the US and Israeli strikes on Iran as a 'failure of the international order.' Speaking in Sydney, Carney stated Canada views Iran as the 'principle source of instability and terror in the Middle East.' Despite decades of negotiations and sanctions, including the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran's nuclear program and threats persist. Over 780 Iranians have been killed in the strikes, according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society. Carney expressed regret over the military action, which occurred without UN consultation or allied coordination, warning it risks engulfing the region in broader conflict. 'Diplomatic engagement is essential to avoid a wider and deeper conflict,' he stressed, calling for a rapid de-escalation and political solution to prevent nuclear proliferation and terrorism.
