Dear Prime Minister,

The Iranian Canadian Congress (ICC), the largest democratic, non-governmental, non-religious, and non-partisan organization representing Iranian Canadians, calls on the Canadian government to take a principled stance rooted in truth, justice, and international law regarding the illegal and unprovoked US-Israeli war on Iran. We reiterate our calls for Canada to condemn the US-Israeli attacks on Iranian civilians, civilian buildings and infrastructure, for Canada to not participate in or contribute to the war on Iran in any way, and for Canada to advocate for cessation of US-Israeli aggressions and renewed diplomatic efforts, as outlined in our March 3rd letter.

Joint Press Release
Iranian‑Canadian Congress & Iranians United for Palestine

Date: 7 March 2026

Unwavering Condemnation of Systematic Attacks on Healthcare Institutions and Critical Infrastructure in Iran

The Iranian Canadian Congress and Iranians United for Palestine unequivocally condemn the systematic and ruthless attacks on healthcare institutions and critical infrastructure in Iran led by US-Israel forces.

Recent assaults have left indelible scars, severely damaging vital medical facilities such as Khatam Hospital, Gandhi Hospital, and various rehabilitation and welfare centers. Reports detail that patients have been injured as hospital structures collapsed during strikes, with the Valiasr Burn Hospital rendered completely inoperable.

The World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has confirmed 13 assaults on healthcare in Iran, alongside attacks on four ambulances resulting in the tragic deaths of four healthcare workers and injuries to 25 others. The targeting of the Iranian Red Crescent, a humanitarian organization, exposes the depths of this barbarism, endangering medics and undermining humanitarian efforts.

International Women’s Day serves as a poignant reminder of the decades-long struggle for equality, justice, and human dignity. Iranian women have long been at the forefront of advocating for justice and freedom. They have demonstrated their capabilities and excellence across diverse fields, including science, culture, and sports. In universities and research institutions, thousands of Iranian women serve as professors, researchers, and students, playing a vital role in advancing knowledge and scientific progress. In many academic disciplines, women make up a significant portion of the scientific community. In the fields of arts and sports, the achievements of Iranian women and girls not only exceed regional and Asian levels but also hold a respected place on the global stage.

Dear Prime Minister Carney,

The Iranian Canadian Congress writes you to condemn in the strongest terms the continued military aggressions and war crimes committed by the U.S. and Israel against Iran since February 28, 2026, and calls on your government to retract your statement in support of this aggression and instead support renewed diplomacy to avoid further bloodshed.

Here is a joint letter from 70 Iranian Canadian and Civil Society Organizations to the Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of National Defense urging them to change course before it is too late.

Statement in Response to the latest U.S Aggression Against Iran

Iranian Canadian Congress condemns in the strongest terms the attacks last night by the United States on Iranian soil, which recklessly ran the risk of untold harm to Iran’s population with nuclear fallout by bombing civilian nuclear infrastructure sites.  

In a deeply concerning break from reality, U.S. President Donald Trump followed his announcement of the attacks—which came after over a week of unprovoked Israeli attacks which killed hundreds of civilians—that “now is the time for peace”. We ask ourselves how a president who has campaigned on the promise not to involve the United States in further wars, justifies Israel’s bombing while Iran was at the negotiating table with the U.S., follows with another egregious and unlawful attack, and expects Iran to complacently submit to this state of affairs.

We are deeply dismayed that Prime Minister Mark Carney, who campaigned on a platform of standing up to U.S. bullying, now kowtows to the position taken by the U.S. and Israel, that in contravention to the U.N. charter, launders a war of aggression initiated by Israel and backed by the United States. We are also horrified at opposition leader Pierre Poilievre’s statement calling Iran’s government a “genocidal regime” while Israel continues its relentless attacks on Gaza, Iran, and other neighbouring countries. Poilievre’s statement flies in the face of the findings of the International Court of Justice, recognized by broad swathes of the Canadian and International Community, that Israel is committing genocide.

We strongly urge Mark Carney’s government to show some backbone, listen to Canadian citizens’ calls to not involve our country in U.S. and Israeli aggression, and act in accordance with Canadian and International law to avert further escalation of war.

Tomorrow night CFPI will be co-hosting “Anti-war webinar: Canada Must Oppose Israel's Attacks on Iran!" Register for the event with author Craig Mokhiber, Iranian Canadian Congress president Mona Ghassemi and member Nassim Noroozi as well as author Yves Engler and lawyer Dimitri Lascaris.

"Hands off Iran" protests are planned in multiple cities across the country this weekend against Canadian support for Israel’s aggression. Join marches organized by the Iranian community, anti-war groups and unions.

Please take a minute to tell Carney to invest in Canadians’ well-being not the war machine.
