Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday morning that he is among the few people who have seen the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, and that he fully supports it, as do the other G7 leaders, according to Carney's statement as reported by an Israeli desk.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated on Wednesday morning that he is among the few individuals who have seen the US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU), and that he fully supports the agreement, as do the other G7 leaders. The remark follows a series of international endorsements of the emerging framework, as The Zioneer reported earlier on Wednesday at 04:17 Jerusalem: Carney had initially stated that he had seen the MOU and supported it, and the current statement reaffirms the reach of the agreement among Western allies.
The US-Iran MOU has drawn public backing from several international leaders in recent days. Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani welcomed the accord on Monday, June 15. French President Emmanuel Macron similarly endorsed it on Monday, pledging continued support for Lebanese sovereignty. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also welcomed the deal on Monday, expressing hope for regional stability.
A security cabinet meeting in Israel left ministers with the impression that a deal is imminent, as i24NEWS reported on Monday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the emerging framework on Friday, June 12, though his statement's details were not immediately released. Former Israeli consul Gilad Katz assessed on Sunday that even if signed, the agreement would be merely the opening to the next round of confrontation with Iran.
What remains unconfirmed is precisely which countries — beyond the G7 — have seen or endorsed the MOU. Carney is the only G7 leader so far to publicly claim direct access to the memorandum.
