Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the newly reached agreement between the United States and Iran, thanking Pakistan, Qatar and other regional partners for their “indispensable” role in facilitating negotiations.

In a post on X, Carney wrote, “Canada has been clear that a durable ceasefire must both ensure safe and unimpeded transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and address the pervasive threat of Iran’s nuclear program.”

He urged all parties to refrain from escalation and maintain good faith dialogue.

“Canada remains in close contact with partners and is ready to support efforts to bring stability and lasting peace to the region, including in Lebanon.”
