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.
