Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Iran was involved in the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel in October, a claim that exceeds any made by the U.S. thus far.

Mr. Trudeau made the comment when asked by reporters on Nov. 14 whether his government would list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist entity, in light of a recent media report suggesting individuals affiliated with the Iranian regime are living in Canada scot-free.
