Carney admits he was wrong on Iran stance
After days of shifting positions on the U.S.–Israeli strikes, the prime minister now admits his call for de-escalation was wrong while leaving the door open to Canadian military involvement.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is admitting he was wrong to call for de-escalation after the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran. Speaking to reporters, Carney said that in hindsight his initial call to lower tensions was a mistake.
The prime minister’s comments come after several days of shifting positions from Ottawa. Carney initially endorsed the strikes, later called for diplomacy, then suggested the attacks may violate international law before now walking back his call for de-escalation.
Carney also refused to rule out Canadian participation in the conflict, saying Canada will always stand by its allies when it “makes sense,” while noting Ottawa was not consulted before the U.S. and Israeli strikes were carried out.
