Iran slams Canada's PM for 'justifying' Trump's threats against Tehran
Iran's Foreign Ministry accused Canada's prime minister of justifying U.S. threats rather than condemning them, calling the rhetoric 'the language of wartime.'
Iran's Foreign Ministry has criticized Canada's prime minister for what it described as justifying threats made by the United States against Tehran, rather than condemning them.
A spokesman for the ministry said the Canadian leader sought to justify U.S. "aggression and warmongering" instead of condemning it, and characterized his framing of threats to destroy a country as "the language of wartime."
The remarks add to a running exchange between Tehran and Ottawa over how Western governments have responded to recent U.S. rhetoric directed at Iran.
Neither the Canadian government nor Iranian officials have indicated the dispute is likely to affect broader diplomatic relations, though it underscores continuing tension over how allied governments characterize American statements on Iran.
Further details on the specific U.S. threats being referenced, or on wider Canadian government reaction, were not included in the ministry's statement.
