Mark Carney says Canada could be asked to help a NATO ally maybe, hypothetically, in a round about way, but probably not as we have no real functioning armed forces available for Middle East deployment

TOKYO — Prime Minister Mark Carney says it is possible Canada will be asked to help defend a NATO ally as the Middle East war continues to intensify, but that there are currently no requests for military aid from Ottawa from any of the impacted countries.

One week into the conflict that erupted when the United States and Israel launched a deadly barrage of airstrikes at Iran, Carney said the violence is still widening, with Tehran firing missiles and drone attacks at neighbouring Gulf states.
