Canada urges diplomatic solution after US strike on Iran

OTTAWA — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is urging immediate negotiations to prevent a wider Middle East war following the overnight attack by American B-2 bombers on Iran.

“Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis,” Carney said Sunday on X,shortly before boarding his Royal Canadian Air Force jetliner to Brussels for a European Union summit. “As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.”

U.S. President Donald Trump’s deliberations about possible airstrikes on Iran surfaced at the G7 summit in Kananskis, Alberta last week, when he departed a day early and warned on Truth Social that Iranian civilians should “immediately evacuate Tehran.”

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand issued a statement on X echoing Carney’s call for diplomacy. “Iran must not possess nuclear weapons as they are a threat to international security,” she wrote in the Sunday post. “We urge parties to return to the negotiating table and reach a resolution to this crisis.”

You know our Cheetos-faced tyrant can't be trusted. Words have no meaning to him.

Right now, we broke it, we own it. For all the shit, tariffs, 51st state, he has helped on you, Canada needs to let us drown.

Canada is likely wasting its time
Iran would be fools to negotiate a sandwich order, much less a peace deal with Il Douche, Little Marco, The Drunk, and the rest of the merry band of cyphers
