Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese issued statements on Saturday morning supporting United States and Israeli military operations against Iran.
Carney’s statement began by advising all Canadians in Iran to “shelter in place,” and Canadian citizens across the Middle East to take “all necessary precautions” against Iranian retaliation.
“The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region,” the statement said.
“Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons,” he declared.
“Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups,” he noted.
“Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime’s repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders,” he said.
“Canada reaffirms Israel’s right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people,” he added.
Carney said Canada “stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran’s oppressive regime.”
…
Albanese likewise said that Australia “stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression,” and supports the United States “acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security.”
“Iran directed at least two attacks on Australian soil in 2024. These appalling acts targeting Australia’s Jewish community were intended to create fear, divide our society and challenge our sovereignty,” Albanese said.
Australian intelligence concluded that Iran was behind arson attacks against a kosher restaurant in Sydney in October 2024, and a synagogue in Melbourne two months later. Albanese denounced them as “extraordinary and dangerous acts of aggression orchestrated by a foreign nation on Australian soil” when announcing responsive actions in August 2025.
“Australia took the unprecedented steps of expelling Iran’s Ambassador, suspending operations at our embassy in Tehran, and listing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a state sponsor of terrorism,” he noted in his statement on Saturday.
