Prime Minister Mark Carney said he can’t “categorically rule out” Canadian military involvement in the U.S.-Israeli intervention in Iran as the conflict widens, but said Canada’s focus is on de-escalation.
Carney made the comments at a March 5 press conference in Canberra alongside Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, adding that any resolution or cease-fire of the widening conflict in Iran must include assurance that the Iranian regime can’t develop a nuclear weapon.
