Canada welcomes the new agreement between the United States and Iran. We extend our gratitude to Pakistan, Qatar and regional partners for their indispensable roles in facilitating negotiations.
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.
As negotiations continue, we urge all parties to maintain good faith dialogue and refrain from escalation. 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.
