Statement on Iran's attacks in Northern Iraq

Global Affairs Canada

Global Affairs Canada today issued the following statement:

"Canada strongly condemns Iran's missile and drone attacks against the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which have resulted in multiple civilian deaths and injuries. The Government of Canada extends its condolences to all those affected.

"Canada calls on Iran to refrain from attacking its neighbours and to stop undermining peace and stability in the Middle East. These attacks violate Iraq's sovereignty and territorial integrity, jeopardize civilian lives and do nothing to address the legitimate concerns of the Iranian people.

"Canada will continue to stand by the Iraqi and Iranian peoples in the face of the Iranian regime's continued violence and human rights violations."
