At an update on Ottawa’s response to the Middle East conflict, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said 74 of the almost 3,000 registered Canadians in Iran have requested assistance in leaving. Anand said the government is unable to arrange ground transportation due to a lack of diplomatic presence there but it has stationed additional consular help in neighbouring countries for any Canadians who can get to the border.
