Condemn Iran’s attack, Says Justin Trudeau
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, “I spoke with fellow G7 leaders this morning. We condemned Iran’s missile attack on Israel — another reckless, destabilising attack by the Iranian regime.”
“Our collective goal is very clear: We must prevent conflict from expanding, for the safety of civilians across the region. We need de-escalation — immediately,” Trudeau said.
Iran had no choice but to retaliate
Iran said that it has continuously presumed peace and called for ceasefire but diplomacy has repeatedly failed. Iran’s response was necessary to restore balance and deterrence to make sure the regime does not go unpunished.
Iran further said that the international community cannot remain in silence. The security council must intervene to stop Israel’s action in Lebanon
“We strongly warn against any further Israeli action. Iran will stand against any act of military with no frustration,” it said.
“Israeli regime must be held accountable for crimes. US is implicated in every cause that Israel did in Hamas as weapons were given by us,” Iran said.
