Prime Minister Mark Carney says leaders involved in the war in Iran need “choose their words” and act prudently, without specifically criticizing President Donald Trump over recent inflammatory statements about American military action.
Trump said in a post today that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” if a deal isn’t reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which followed a comment made last week that he was going to bomb Iran “back to the stone ages.”

Carney was asked at a news conference in Brampton, Ontario today if he agrees with comments made last week by French President Emmanuel Macron criticizing Trump’s rhetoric about the war.
In response, Carney didn’t single Trump out specifically, instead calling it a very serious situation and calling on all parties to not target civilians or civilian infrastructure.
Other international leaders have called for restraint in recent days, including UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who warned the U.S. that attacks on civilian infrastructure are banned under international law.
