Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada supports the new ceasefire and peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran [1].
The agreement is critical for global stability as it seeks to end active hostilities and restore commercial shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz [2].
Carney made the remarks Monday, June 15, 2026 [3], while traveling to attend the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, located in the French Alps [1]. Reports vary on the exact location of the statement, with some sources placing the prime minister at the airport in Knock, Ireland, before his flight to France [4].
The peace process follows a series of diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region. According to AP News, President Trump announced a tentative deal to end the war [5]. Other reports indicate that senior U.S. officials believe Trump and an Iranian negotiator have already remotely signed a memorandum of understanding [6].
Canada's endorsement of the deal aligns with its broader diplomatic goals of supporting peace processes, and ensuring the free flow of international trade [2]. The G7 summit provides a venue for Carney to coordinate with other world leaders on the implementation and monitoring of the ceasefire [1].
The restoration of security in the Strait of Hormuz is a primary objective of the deal, as the waterway is a vital artery for global energy supplies [2]. Carney said Canada welcomes the news of the deal as a step toward regional peace [1].

Canada's immediate support for the U.S.-Iran agreement signals a desire to see a rapid return to normalcy in the Persian Gulf. By endorsing the deal during the G7 summit, the Canadian government is positioning itself as a partner in the multilateral effort to secure global shipping lanes and stabilize energy markets, which have been volatile due to the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.
