‘Yes, that’s worth it’: PM Carney on taking Iran nuclear weapon ‘off the table’ in tentative deal ‘Yes, that’s worth it’: Prime Minister Mark Carney on taking Iran nuclear weapon ‘off the table’ in tentative deal. (CNN) <\/p>\nPrime Minister Mark Carney speaks with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about the tentative deal to end the war in Iran, and whether war was worth it. <\/p>\n
After the U.S. and Iran say they\u2019ve reached a tentative deal to end the war, Prime Minister Mark Carney is calling the conflict \u201cworth it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carney made the remarks in an interview with CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins at the G7 summit in \u00c9vian-les-Bains, France on Tuesday, when asked directly if the war was \u201cworth it in Canada\u2019s view.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that (Iran is) the biggest exporter of terror,\u201d Carney told CNN. \u201cIt was hell-bent, sorry if I can say that, on getting a nuclear weapon, and the force multiplier on that was terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLots needs to happen,\u201d Carney later added. \u201cWe all have to support (the deal). But moving to this position, where that\u2019s been taken off the table. Yes, that\u2019s worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Iran announced a tentative agreement late Sunday, which will extend a ceasefire for another 60 days, during which all sides will negotiate details of a final agreement.<\/p>\n
But further details within the deal, which U.S. Vice-President J.D. Vance described as \u201cabout a page and a half,\u201d have yet to be released publicly.<\/p>\n
Speaking to CNN, Carney said he has seen the deal, which he described as a \u201creasonable length.\u201d He also called it a \u201cgame changer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to say it\u2019s exceeded my expectations. We\u2019re very pleased with the deal that\u2019s been struck,\u201d Carney said. \u201cIt sets the groundwork to ensure Iran doesn\u2019t have a nuclear weapon. It sets the groundwork for a reintegration over time of the economies in the region. It sets the groundwork for a solution in Lebanon, which we discussed today. So, it\u2019s positive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pressed by CNN for further details, Carney would only say it is \u201cwell-structured\u201d and \u201cregional countries are behind it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s top diplomat, though, said on Tuesday that the deal would require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, which Israel has already rejected.<\/p>\n
Carney\u2019s latest comments follow an evolving stance on the conflict, which has killed thousands across the region and triggered a global energy crisis.<\/p>\n
Immediately after the U.S. and Israel first struck Iran on Feb. 28, Carney said in a statement that \u201cCanada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.\u201d<\/p>\n
Days later, Carney then criticized the U.S. for not engaging or consulting with allies before its airstrikes, but still affirmed his support of the conflict \u201cwith regret.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Amirhosein Khorgooi\/ISNA via AP) Will Canada help with Strait of Hormuz?<\/p>\n
U.S. President Donald Trump has said the tentative agreement includes a provision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Friday. The strait, which transports about a fifth of the world\u2019s oil and gas supplies, has effectively been closed since the war began.<\/p>\n
The federal government previously said it would be prepared to help restore shipping in the strait.<\/p>\n
While speaking to CNN, Carney said Canada \u201cwill help as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not a big regional naval power. We have some assets that we can help with this. We can do some stuff on monitoring, but importantly, we can do things on the financial side,\u201d the prime minister said.<\/p>\n
An official signing ceremony of the tentative deal will take place on Friday in Geneva, Switzerland, after which talks will continue to find a permanent agreement.<\/p>\n
