Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for parties involved in the war in Iran to de-escalate hostilities quickly - and said while he supports the strikes, it's a position he takes "with regret".
Carney, speaking to reporters in Sydney, his second stop in Indo-Pacific tour, said of Iran that Canada "has long supported the imperative of neutralising this grave global threat".
He added: "We do, however, take this position with regret, because the current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order."
The US and Israel began striking Iran on Saturday. Iran responded by firing missiles and drones at Israel and Gulf states allied to the US.
While speaking with reporters in Australia, Carney was critical of the US and Israel for acting "without engaging the United Nations or consulting with allies, including Canada".
