Canada PM Mark Carney says he supports US-Israel strikes on Iran, but with 'regret'
Carney backs US-Israeli strikes aimed at halting Iran's nuclear program but regrets bypassing UN and allies, highlighting a decline in the international rules-based order.
- On Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada supports U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran 'with regret' during a state visit to Australia after arriving in Sydney on Tuesday.
- Citing the international order, Carney said Iran's nuclear threat remains despite UN Security Council resolutions and called the situation 'another example of the failure of the international order'.
- U.S. and Israel launched a military offensive; Iran retaliated by bombing Israel and U.S. bases in Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Kuwait, while France deploys jets and air-defence systems.
- Allied governments questioned legality, noting Penny Wong said questions are 'a matter for Israel and the U.S.' and Australia was not informed beforehand.
- Observers warn the strikes raise questions about the post-World War II rules-based international order and risk another drawn-out military quagmire like Afghanistan and Iraq, while allied nations bolster regional defences amid divided support.
