Carney praises U.S.-Iran peace deal after earlier war remarks

Prime Minister Mark Carney has again backed the new U.S.Iran peace deal, saying preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon was the reason the conflict began. Speaking to reporters at the G7 summit in France, Carney said the agreement is anchored in that goal and creates a foundation for peace. He did not directly say whether military action was necessary to reach the deal, but he said he welcomes the outcome. Carney previously described the war as "worth it" if it stopped Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, drawing attention for his comments. The article also notes that Canada initially supported U.S. and Israeli strikes with regret, while later saying the actions appeared inconsistent with international law. The war caused major casualties in Iran, Lebanon, and Israel, and it disrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, pushing fuel prices higher before the new deal helped ease markets.
