Germany Signs Provisional LNG Deal With Canada to Cut Russian and Middle East Exposure

Canadian LNG takes years to scale, so this is a structural hedge, not emergency relief. It also shifts European energy dependency west, reducing Iran's indirect leverage over EU diplomatic positioning on the conflict.
