Canada calls for 'restraint' in Iran following death of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani
Foreign affairs minister François-Philippe Champagne is calling on all sides to exercise restraint after a U.S. air strike in Baghdad killed Qassem Soleimani, a high-ranking Iranian general.
“Canada has long been concerned by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Qods Force, led by Qasem Soleimani, whose aggressive actions have had a destabilizing effect in the region and beyond,” said Champagne. He said Ottawa needs to try to bring players together and firmly establish its posture toward the region.
