Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated on Thursday that he cannot rule out his country's military involvement in the ongoing war in the Middle East. Carney had previously considered the US-Israeli strikes on Iran to be "contrary to international law." Speaking in Canberra alongside his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese, he said: "We will stand with our allies... we will always defend Canadians." However, he expressed support for efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, emphasizing his call for diplomacy. When asked during his visit to Australia whether Canada could join the United States and Israel in their war against Iran, Carney replied: "Participation cannot be definitively ruled out."
