US President Donald Trump is still voicing his frustration that other countries will not help reopen the straight-of-hormose. Commercial traffic through the International Seaway has pretty much come to an end because of the threat of Iranian attacks. Trump says changing that takes a simple military maneuver. It's relatively safe, but you need a lot of help in the sense of you need ships. You need volumes. They know could help us, but they so far haven't had
the courage to do so, and others could help us. But at a certain point, it'll open itself. Trump repeated his assertion that the US and Israel have already won the war and said Iran is just clogging up the straight. Iran continues retaliatory strikes on oil and gas facilities in Persian Gulf countries. It's military targeted a Kuwaiti plant today and issued a chilling warning for Americans beyond the Gulf region. Crystal Gimansing has the latest. In Tehran, no woos. The Iranian New Year celebrations are being colored by war. The year is said to be one of a resistance economy under national unity and national security, said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mushtabah Hamaneh, written words from a statement. Hamaneh has yet to be seen or heard from since he was chosen to replace his father, who was assassinated on the opening day of the war last month. Iran launched waves of attacks on Israel today.
And Persian Gulf nations were ties to the US. In Kuwait, production was paused at the Mina al-Hamadi oil refinery hit by several drones. A senior Iranian military spokesperson said Israelis and Americans could be targeted at recreational and tourist sites anywhere in the world. Crystal Gimansing, CBC News, Jerusalem. Ottawa has confirmed Canadian troops were among advisory NATO personnel pulled from Iraq. The move comes after a series of attacks by Iran on troops at British, French, and Italian bases in northern Iraq. NATO launched the non-combat mission in 2018 to advise Iraq on how to build effective military institutions. The mission will now be run from NATO's headquarters in Naples, Italy. The Ontario government wants to ban the reselling of tickets for more than the original cost. The proposed legislation would cover tickets to concerts, sports, and other live events. This is Ontario's tourism and culture minister Stan Cho.
We know that technology has changed, bots are buying up a whole swath of tickets and reselling it out outrageous prices, which makes it unattainable for those who are just trying to go to a game or see their favorite artist in concert. And what we've done is we've leveled the playing field and said no more price gouging. The move is a reversal for Premier Doug Ford. In 2018, his government blocked legislation that would have capped resale tickets at 50 percent above face value. Alberta's government will shutter two more supervised consumption sites. It's part of its push to focus on recovery-focused addiction treatment. Sam Sampson reports. Helping them inject drugs is not helping people. That's putting poison into their arms. Alberta's mental health and addiction minister Rick Wilson says his government will shut down the supervised consumption sites in Calgary and Lethbridge funding treatment and detox centers instead. The province has recently closed other sites and stands by its decision to focus on getting people off drugs. The illegal drug supply remains highly volatile.
Elaine Heshka is an associate professor and Canada Research Chair in Health Systems Innovation at the University of Alberta. She says removing these sites will have a domino effect. It's very possible that we will see spikes in drug poisoning deaths in Calgary and Lethbridge in the near future. And now we have one less tool to prevent those deaths. And not only to prevent deaths, but also to prevent demand for EMS or ambulances. The only remaining consumption sites in Alberta are in Edmonton and Grand Prairie, all of which are being re-evaluated by the province. Sam Sampson's CBC News Edmonton. And that is your world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Martina Fitzgerald.
