Iran’s military attack on Israel has sparked widespread condemnation from Canadian politicians across different levels of government, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Iran launched dozens of drones and missiles from its own territory toward Israel on April 13. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) subsequently issued a statement confirming it carried out the assault aiming to target specific locations in Israel, reported Iran Press in an English-language article.
“Canada unequivocally condemns Iran’s airborne attacks against Israel. We stand with Israel. After supporting Hamas’ brutal October 7 attack, the Iranian regime’s latest actions will further destabilize the region and make lasting peace more difficult,” the Prime Minster’s Office said in a statement on April 13.
