After Canada criticized Tehran on regional security and freedom of navigation, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae accused Canada of bowing to the “coercion” of the United States. Bagae said that Canada supports America's military aggression and economic pressure in Iran's eyes. He also claimed that the Strait of Hormuz had always been in a safe state before the conflict broke out, accusing Ottawa of misrepresenting the regional situation. Bagaye assessed Canada's position as “strategically chaotic, yielding to coercion.”
