Carney: Keeping the embassy closed in Tehran puts Canada in an uncomfortable position

After a Singaporean ship was targeted in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States assessed it as an action by Iran, and JD Vance announced the establishment of a direct channel between CENTCOM and the Qatari Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, intended to prevent further conflicts. At the same time, the newly established Persian Gulf Waterway Management Authority stated that the consequences of navigating routes not approved by the authority will be the responsibility of the ship's captain and the owning and operating company. The Thursday attack on the ship caused several other ships to divert and also halted the UN shipping organization's evacuation operations in the Strait of Hormuz. Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, called the continued closure of the Canadian embassy in Iran and Venezuela inappropriate due to its impact on Canadian citizens in those countries.
