Canadian politicians have reacted to Israel’s latest military strikes against Iran, with the Liberal government calling for de-escalation and Conservatives backing Israeli action.

Israel launched a series of raids inside Iran in the early morning hours of June 13, targeting top military officials and Iran’s nuclear program. Three of Iran’s top military commanders were killed in the strike. Iran reportedly responded by sending over 100 drones, which were shot down before reaching Israel.
