CANBERRA — Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will “defend our allies” when it comes to the war against Iran, not ruling out future military participation. Carney noted that the conflict has since expanded, as Iran has counterattacked against several other countries. Over the past few days, the prime minister has further clarified his position, citing the evolving nature of the conflict. The prime minister said “necessary conditions” would have to be met and that a de-escalation would first need to happen. The prime minister, speaking to reporters the day before in Sydney, also said that it appears at first blush the strikes were “inconsistent” with international law.
