The Prime Minister's statement on the U.S. strikes against Iranian nuclear sites:

Prime Minister Mark Carney has commented on the recent U.S. military intervention in Iran, stating that the situation in the Middle East remains "highly volatile" following the strikes. He emphasized the importance of stability in the region and urged all parties to seek a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing crisis. The Prime Minister acknowledged the U.S. action as a means to address the threats posed by Iran's nuclear program, which he believes is detrimental to international security. Additionally, he referenced a G7 statement from the summit in Alberta, which advocated for a broader de-escalation of Middle Eastern conflicts, including a ceasefire in Gaza. Carney is set to travel to Europe for security and defense talks at the EU and NATO summits, which will likely be heavily influenced by these recent events.
