US EditionAnand: U.S., Israel have “no blank cheque” and are bound by international law in Iran
Canada emphasizes international law constraints on U.S. and Israeli military actions in Iran and focuses on de-escalation and civilian protection amid Gulf tensions, Minister Anand said.
- On March 6, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said the U.S. and Israel do not have a `blank cheque` and remain bound by international law as the war nears seven days.
- Some Liberal MPs have publicly expressed unease, and Anand scheduled a Friday call to brief caucus members on international law and Middle East assistance.
- Anand said she will wait to hear from Gen. Jennie Carignan, chief of the defence staff, before commenting on possible assistance as allied militaries set a Friday meeting and the Canadian Armed Forces will present a recommendation.
- Ottawa is prioritizing de-escalation and Anand cited international law, emphasizing civilian safety, while Conservatives accuse flip-flopping and analysts say Liberals kowtow to Washington amid trade concerns.
- Anand noted two decades of diplomacy aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, while critics question Ottawa’s approach and Carney said Canada couldn't 'categorically' rule out military participation.
