Iran accuses Canada of joining the US-led war against Iran
Iran’s Foreign Ministry accused Canada on Sunday of joining the US war against Iran. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had said in March that they were ready to help efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The accusation that Canada had joined the US-led war against Iran prompted a response from Iran’s Foreign Ministry and the Ottawa administration.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei raised Washington’s economic pressure on Canada in a statement on the X platform. Baghaei said the United States had at times referred to Canada as the 51st state, imposed tariffs on Canadian products and threatened the country over smoke from forest fires.
Baghaei claimed that Canada had nevertheless joined the US-led war against Iran to please Washington. In his statement, the spokesperson said, "This is not a hockey night in Canada; it is Washington’s farm team."
Ottawa’s position on the war against Iran
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in March that they were ready to help efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The statement was interpreted as indicating that Ottawa could support broader US-led objectives in the region.
Canadian officials, however, said that the country was not involved in attack operations against Iran. The officials said they had not been consulted about the operations and had no intention of taking part in the fighting.
Analysts say the close integration of Canada’s armed forces with US military command structures continues to fuel debate over Ottawa’s role in the region.
