Prime Minister Mark Carney listens as U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a group photo at the G7 Summit, Monday, June 16, 2025, in Kananaskis, Canada. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Monday he spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump on the ongoing wars in the Middle East. 'We focused on de-escalating the conflict in the Middle East, our shared commitment to a stronger NATO at this week's summit, and the progress in the ongoing trade negotiations between our countries,' Carney wrote in a social media post on X. I spoke with President Trump overnight. We focused on de-escalating the conflict in the Middle East, our shared commitment to a stronger NATO at this week's summit, and the progress in the ongoing trade negotiations between our countries. — Mark Carney (@MarkJCarney) June 23, 2025 The talk follows the U.S. strikes on Iran Saturday night. Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform Sunday 'monumental damage' was done to the three nuclear sites in Iran that were targeted. Trump also said Saturday on Truth Social that any retaliation by Iran would be met with 'force far greater than what was witnessed tonight.' In response to the strikes, Carney in an X post Sunday called on all parties to 'return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.' 'As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza,' Carney wrote. The U.S. strikes come after Israel targeted Iranian nuclear and military sites on June 13, prompting Iran to retaliate with its own aerial attacks. Israel and Iran have been in an ongoing war since.

Israeli Air Force attacks regime assets across Iran with 'unprecedented force'
The Israeli Air Force struck key regime targets across Tehran on Monday, including a headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Article content The IAF attacks on Iranian 'regime targets and governmental repression bodies' also targeted the headquarters of the Basij militia, the notorious Evin Prison for political prisoners, the clock that counts down to the 'destruction of Israel' in Palestine Square, as well as an 'ideology headquarters,' Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement. Article content Article content 'Israeli Air Force fighter jets, guided by precise intelligence from the IDF Intelligence Directorate, struck command centres and assets belonging to the Internal Security Forces and the IRGC in Tehran, Iran,' the Israel Defense Forces said. Article content Article content 'As part of the strike, the headquarters of the Basij was targeted. The Basij is one of the IRGC's central armed bases of power. Alongside its other functions, it is also responsible for enforcing Islamic law and reporting civilians who violate it to the regime authorities,' the military's statement continued. Article content The targeted command centres are 'significant, both militarily and politically, and striking them harms the Iranian regime's military capabilities,' it added. Article content Israeli officials told Ynet that Jerusalem's security establishment believes that hundreds of IRGC members were killed in the latest wave of strikes. Article content Another attack targeted access roads to the Fordow uranium enrichment plant in central Iran, one of the three facilities U.S. President Donald Trump has said were 'completely and totally obliterated' in airstrikes on Saturday. Article content Article content Israeli officials said the IDF strikes on Monday also targeted a vehicle and Iranian soldiers seeking to approach one of the entrances to the enrichment plant. Article content Article content Earlier on Monday, the IAF targeted six airports across western, eastern and central Iran. The strikes focused on runways, underground hangars, a refuelling aircraft and several Iranian regime warplanes, including F-14 and F-5 fighter jets and AH-1 attack helicopters. Article content According to the IDF, the destroyed aircraft were intended for use against Israeli Air Force jets to hinder future strikes within Iranian territory. The attacks significantly disrupted takeoff capabilities at the targeted airports and degraded the Iranian military's ability to operate its air force from those locations. Article content Katz said on Monday morning that the IDF was striking Iran with 'unprecedented force,' including regime targets and 'government repression bodies in the heart of Tehran.' Article content 'For every (missile) fired at Israel, the Iranian dictator will be severely punished, and the strikes will proceed with full intensity,' said Katz. 'We will continue to act to defend the home front and defeat the enemy until all war objectives are achieved.'
