In April 2023 Saudi Arabia and Iran’s foreign ministers met in Beijing to discuss reopening their diplomatic missions in their respective countries, to encourage visits of official and private delegations, and to facilitate visas for Iranian and Saudi citizens.

As they frequently support opposite forces in conflicts, Saudi Arabia and Iran's rivalry has likely contributed to regional instability.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
No, we should not get involved in foreign conflicts
@9FL3CWJ1yr1Y
Not getting involved militarily, but involved with the support of those people affected or, by stabilising the situation.
@9GH94261yr1Y
One could say that the fact that Saudi Arabia and Iran are significant players in the world energy markets is a counterargument to the idea of becoming involved in conflicts with them.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
No
@9FL3CWJ1yr1Y
We as Canadian citizens will not promote such fickle and dumb things such as allowing a war in which the government and our citizens have a lot invested into.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
No, only if it is an immediate threat to our safety
@9FL3CWJ1yr1Y
Strengthen our military and protect our interests in the Middle East, whilst continuing to provide support monetarily to those affected, trying to mediate the situation.
@9G5RCDK1yr1Y
Yes, but only if it’s safe and won’t get us into any trouble
@9ZLDVNL6 days6D
We should first focus on improving life for our citizens and residents before involving ourselves in external conflicts. We currently have a housing crisis, high inflation and taxes, youth using and getting involved with drugs and vapes on school grounds, etc. It’s not a major concern yet.
@9RZPX673mos3MO
support how? financial support? arms and defense support? political and media support? unless we can actually do something for this conflict canada is a B grade player only involved in things like immigration from said countries not actual defense policy. If we were able to get our federal energy policy in order, with minds to constitutional overreaching, maybe we could actually help more with this issue.
@9RB43K34mos4MO
Yes, but only if the Islamic Regime is abolished in Iran and a new, non-corrupt government is formed.
@9VMP4KL1mo1MO
only in extreme cases (i.e. innocent people deaths). the red cross should be respected in terms of how they think other countries should proceed.
@9TMMVLNNew Democratic2mos2MO
No, we should not get involved in foreign conflicts only if there is an immediate threat to our safety
@9C8N9GZ1yr1Y
Yes, we should support the peace talks and be assist if required to give assistance in any kind of help. This will help in increase Canada's global standing.
@9C8CJDP1yr1Y
Yes, it's a sign of maturity.
@9C43H6C2yrs2Y
Only if we have first looked at the condition of Canadian residents first.
@9BH5JBR2yrs2Y
No, neither of these countries shares our values
@9C8YBHH1yr1Y
Only if there is reason to believe that the peace talks will help
@9D5HV3N1yr1Y
Yes - verbal support only.
@9BYJBB22yrs2Y
Advocate for peace talks BUT do not become directly involved in said talks
