After just six days of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, more than a dozen countries have become involved either as direct targets or through interception of drones and missiles. Arif Lalani, a former Canadian ambassador to multiple nations in the region, breaks down the risk for further expansion.

AI Minister Evan Solomon debriefs Power & Politics on his meeting with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, following revelations that the company banned the Tumbler Ridge, B.C., mass shooter's ChatGPT account but didn't report it to police.

Plus, Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong accuses Prime Minister Mark Carney of making 'contradictory' statements about supporting both U.S.-Israeli strikes and de-escalation with Iran — but Chong affirms that supporting the strikes was the right move for Canada.

At a news conference where he took questions for the first time since his India trip began and the U.S and Israel attacked Iran, Prime Minister Mark Carney called for 'rapid de-escalation' in the Middle East and said 'Canada reaffirms that international law binds all belligerents' — but stopped short of saying the U.S. or Israel violated it. CBC's Rosemary Barton breaks down Carney's comments, and former Liberal foreign minister Lloyd Axworthy explains why he says Carney is taking the wrong approach to the U.S. on Iran.
