Carney Says G7 Could Cement Iran Deal if 1 Ceasefire Covers Lebanon

3 articles · Updated · POLITICO Europe · Jun 13

Summary

  • Mark Carney said the upcoming G7 summit in France could help lock in an emerging U.S.-Iran agreement, but only if it also delivers a ceasefire in Lebanon.
  • Dublin framed that condition jointly: Carney and Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the Iran track and Lebanon fighting must be addressed together for any wider peace deal to hold.
  • Carney said he was encouraged by recent developments, signaling renewed momentum after fluctuating expectations around a possible U.S.-Iran accord.
  • The remarks came at the start of Carney’s two-day Ireland visit before he heads to the G7, where Donald Trump is expected to be a central player in any diplomatic push.
