Tehran's foreign ministry slams Canada for backing US war on Iran Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei criticised Canada over its participation in the US war on Iran. "Washington calls Canada its 51st state; Washington imposes tariffs on Canadian goods; Washington insults Canada and threatens to punish it over wildfire smoke; Ottawa’s response: Understood, Sir! Meanwhile, Ottawa participates in the U.S.-led unlawful war of choice against Iran, to appease Washington! What's the reward? THIS IS NOT HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA; IT IS WASHINGTON'S FARM TEAM," he wrote on X. Canada has previously indicated its willingness to support broader US-led objectives in the region, with experts noting the country's close ties to Washington's military command structures.
