“Now in this region we have two (military. - RT ) ships and aerial reconnaissance, which are mainly concentrated on Iraq. Of course, we are working with our allies as necessary, taking into account new challenges in contacts with Iran, ”Trudeau said after meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, answering a question about possible assistance in ensuring safe passage of ships in the Middle East.
At the same time, Trudeau called on Iran to abandon the escalation of the situation in the region.
Earlier, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, declared that “evidence” of Iran’s guilt in attacking tankers in the Gulf of Oman was inconclusive.
On June 13, explosions occurred on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman, and later a fire broke out on the ships.
Washington, including US President Donald Trump, blamed Iran for the incident.
