Canada and 28 Other Countries Condemn Iran's Violent and Hybrid Attacks in Joint Statement
Global Affairs Canada issued a joint statement in Ottawa on October 12, 2026, in which the foreign ministers of 29 countries condemned in the strongest terms Iran's use of violent attacks, including acts of lethal plotting, arson, sabotage, cyber-attacks and other hybrid activities against their countries and partners.
The signatories are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The statement said the ministers recognise the United Kingdom's attribution of Iran's involvement in the incident at RAF Fairford on September 27, which the UK confirmed demonstrates the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' continued willingness to project hostile activity beyond its borders through covert networks and proxy actors. It also followed a recent campaign of attacks across Europe targeting Jewish communities, Iranian journalists and U.S. interests, claimed by Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI).
The ministers said any attempt by Iran to threaten, silence, intimidate, harass, harm or coerce people on their territory through proxies or any other means is unacceptable, and that anyone who conducts hostile activities on behalf of Iran should know the signatories will take action to identify, investigate, disrupt and prosecute these acts. They said the countries remain united and committed to safeguarding their sovereignty, strengthening international coordination, bolstering national resilience, protecting their communities and ensuring those responsible are held to account.
