CP NewsAlert: Canada facilitating flights home for citizens leaving Israel, Iran

By Canadian Press on June 19, 2025.

OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand tells The Canadian Press that Canada is helping citizens leave the Middle East when they reach countries neighbouring Israel and Iran.

Ottawa is boosting consular services in the region, and helping to facilitate commercial flights to leave the region once they reach bordering countries as airports are closed across the region.

Anand says she is concerned about growing volatility in the region.

More coming.
