Canada, Australia Urge Iran War De-escalation

The Prime Ministers of Canada, Mark Carney, and Australia, Anthony Albanese, met in Canberra to discuss the ongoing Iran war. Both leaders called for a de-escalation of hostilities and stressed the critical importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and ceasing its alleged export of terrorism. Their meeting followed reports of a United States submarine sinking an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean and NATO defenses, reported by Turkey, intercepting an Iranian ballistic missile. The leaders also highlighted Iran's attacks on Gulf Cooperation Council states and urged the GCC to become involved in the de-escalation process. Mark Carney did not rule out potential Canadian military involvement in the conflict, emphasizing solidarity with allies.
