Former Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper has added his name to a full-page ad in the New York Times with a message to U.S. President Donald Trump: “You are right about Iran.”

The ad, titled “Mr. President, you are right about Iran” in bold letters, is signed by Harper, former Australian prime minister John Howard, Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Northern Ireland first minister David William Trimble, and other former politicians and writers, including John Baird, former Canadian foreign affairs minister.

The A5 ad ran Wednesday, a day after Trump announced the U.S. is pulling out of the landmark nuclear accord with Iran.

“Iran is a danger to us, to our allies, to freedom,” the text says. “We stand alongside you in ending the dangerous appeasement of Iran and making all and any action required to stop Iran going nuclear, help its people, halt its spreading of terror and achieve peace and stability in the Middle East and among all peoples and nations.”

Harper’s government suspended diplomatic relations with Iran in 2012, expelling diplomats and closing the embassy. The Trudeau government campaigned on a promise to restore diplomatic relations with Iran, but talks are frozen pending the release of dual Iranian-Canadian citizen Maryam Mombeini.

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said Harper is entitled to express his views.

“This is, though, an opportunity for me to be very clear that the government of Canada’s position is that we regret the U.S. decision on the [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.] We believe the JCPOA is an important and useful agreement,” she told reporters in Washington.

Freeland said she spoke to her U.K. counterpart, Boris Johnson, Thursday morning about a path forward to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
