Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who says he has seen the MoU agreed by the US and Iran, calls it a “well-structured” and “positive” agreement that he “absolutely” supports, according to AlJazeera.

“We’re very pleased with the deal that’s been struck,” Carney said, while speaking to CNN on the sidelines of the G7 summit, adding that it is a “game-changer”.

“It sets the groundwork to ensure Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon,” he continued. “It sets the groundwork for a reintegration over time of the economies in the region. It sets the groundwork for a solution in Lebanon, which we discussed today. So it’s positive.”

Carney also told CNN the deal provides Iran with “a big financial incentive” if it meets its commitments in the coming months, such as opening the Strait of Hormuz and negotiating the transfer of its enriched uranium.
