CNBC detailed the ministry’s claim that Canada is enabling what Tehran calls U.S. lawbreaking against Iranian interests. The Iranian statement framed Canada as a collaborator in what it described as bullying by the United States. Middle East Eye quoted Tehran’s condemnation of Canada for appeasing what it called a 'bullying neighbour' United States, while WANA News Agency relayed Baghaei’s assertion that Canada is complicit in U.S. lawbreaking against Iran.
In response, Roya News reported Canada’s call for an end to Iranian threats in the waterway, and Anadolu Ajansı noted Ottawa’s pledge to maintain economic pressure on Tehran. The juxtaposition of Iranian accusations and Canadian denials highlighted a sharp diplomatic divide. The Iranian and Canadian narratives clash: Tehran portrays Canada as a willing partner in U.S. pressure, while Ottawa stresses that it seeks to curb Iranian threats and sustain sanctions.
No further diplomatic engagements or de‑escalation steps have been reported, leaving the Strait of Hormuz tension at a heightened level as of the latest statements.
