We stand in solidarity with Israel. After supporting Hamas' brutal attack on October 7, the Iranian regime, with these new measures, will further destabilize the region and make lasting peace more difficult.
Mr. Trudeau announced at the annual Parliamentary Press Room dinner that he had to make an emergency exit.
These attacks once again highlight the Iranian regime's contempt for peace and stability in the region. We support Israel's right to defend itself and its people against these attacks.
I receive regular briefings from the National Security and Intelligence Adviser, the Chief of the Defense Staff and the Clerk of the Privy Council. We are in close contact with our partners and will monitor the situation closely
he added.

Canada must support Israel, and we must work with our allies to hold the Iranian regime accountable and ensure security in the region.
He pointed out.
The Israeli Embassy in Canada welcomed this support from Ottawa, assuring that the Jewish state would continue to defend itself. Iran poses a direct threat not only to the Western world and Israel, but to all who share democratic values.
He argued in a written statement on Saturday evening.
Israel closed its airspace on Saturday after Iran announced on state television that it had fired ballistic missiles toward its border.
Tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated in recent days following Israel's airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Syria. Iran then vowed revenge on its own people.
