Canadian Prime Minister's Remarks

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had described Iran as one of the greatest threats in the world, claiming the country posed an existential danger to Israel and its allies.

In response to a question about the threats expressed by U.S. President Donald Trump in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Carney stated that there was an ongoing war and that Trump was speaking the language of war.

Iran's Reaction to Washington and Ottawa

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated in a post on the social media platform X that instead of condemning U.S. open aggression and warmongering, the Canadian Prime Minister chose to appease Washington.

Baghaei criticized Carney for characterizing Iran's elimination threat merely as the language of war, while also warning about the consequences of supporting American policies.

Threats at the UN General Assembly

U.S. President Donald Trump said in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly that he faced a major choice regarding whether to reach a deal with Iran or quickly destroy the Islamic Republic.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused the U.S. and Israel of fueling global instability and carrying out illegal attacks against civilians and infrastructure.

U.S. Economic Pressure Policy

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in an interview with Fox News, explained the objectives of the Trump administration's Iran strategy, stating that they aim to cause internal conflict within the regime, a popular uprising, or force it into a deal.

Bessent emphasized that economic pressures have severely squeezed Iran, pointing out that outbound flights in the country have decreased by 80 to 90 percent.
