On the tarmac Monday morning, Carney said he would have a possibility on the G7 to see what Canada and other countries can do to assist reinforce the progress.<\/p>\n

The leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy and the UK said in a joint statement they welcome the announcement of the deal between the U.S. and Iran.<\/p>\n

The statement says it\u2019s \u201cvital\u201d that detailed negotiations are concluded and that the agreement be implemented rapidly and comprehensively.<\/p>\n

Leaders said they might support that effort.<\/p>\n

In addition they said the urgent re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz is important, and so they are committed to playing their part to attain that, including through a \u201cstrictly defensive and independent mission to reassure industrial shipping and conduct mine clearance operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIran mustn’t ever acquire a nuclear weapon,\u201d the statement says. \u201cWe stand able to work with the U.S., Iran and the (International Atomic Energy Agency) to this end. We’re prepared to lift relevant sanctions in response to clear, verifiable steps by Iran on its nuclear programme.\u201d<\/p>\n

The leaders said they are going to work with the U.S., Iran and regional partners to \u201cseize this moment, maintain momentum and achieve a long-term diplomatic settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also reaffirm our full support to the steadiness, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon and the importance of a sturdy ceasefire,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

Carney said in his own statement on social media that Canada has been clear that a durable ceasefire must ensure secure and unimpeded transit through the Strait of Hormuz and address the \u201cpervasive threat\u201d of Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n
