Dear PM Carney, Canada is bound by UN Charter & cannot attack or threaten to attack another sovereign country like Iran.
Israel violated UN Charter when it pre-emptively & illegally attacked Iran. Israel has been claiming Iran is close to nuclear weapons for decades. The most reliable reports suggest it's Israel with nuclear weapons. Keep in mind, Israel is the one that has not signed non-proliferation treaty.
Canada cannot engage in or support lawlessness. Please don't create grave risk to innocent civilians in the middle east (or here at home) by supporting or acting in concert with US & Israel's illegal attacks on Iran (or Israel's ongoing genocide & illegal occupation in Palestine).
Canada must stand for better than following an unstable, war-mongering US President into war - the same President that is in a trade war with Canada & the rest of the world. If you are going to lead the allies, lead them into peace & prioritize human rights, climate action, respect for international law & a safe, sustainable, Indigenous-rights respecting economy that supports everyone.

Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.
While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.
Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. 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.
