    • Number of Iranian targets 'on the table' following attacks on Israel, ambassador says

    Share

    Israel鈥檚 ambassador to Canada says the international community needs to send a 鈥渃oncise, concentrated, focused message to the Iranian regime,鈥 following attacks on Israel Tuesday.

    In an interview on 愛污传媒 Channel鈥檚 Power Play, Iddo Moed would not comment when asked by host Vassy Kapelos whether Israel has ruled out strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.

    But when pressed on potential retaliation to Tuesday鈥檚 attacks, Moed said 鈥渢he nuclear issue is part and parcel鈥 of Iran鈥檚 wider threat to Western democracies.

    鈥淚 can't speak about that,鈥 Moed also said, when asked again whether Israel is considering counterattacks aimed near Iranian nuclear facilities.

    鈥淏ut you can imagine that we have a range of targets that we can go after in Iran, and all of that is on the table,鈥 he added.

    Israeli media reported on Tuesday that missiles had been shot into Israel from Iran. Moed said the final tally was 181 ballistic missiles, shot into Israel in two waves, aimed primarily at the most populated areas.

    Though there was damage and several people injured, there were no casualties in Israel, Moed said. There have been reports of a casualty in Jericho, in the West Bank.

    鈥淭hey鈥檙e very dangerous and very lethal, they鈥檙e very serious, the Iranian regime, in using whatever means they have to erase Israel off the map and then to continue with the revolution,鈥 Moed said. 鈥淎nd so we speak to the people of Iran and tell them we are with you. We're standing with you.

    鈥淏ut it's the Iranian regime that is so dangerous and needs to be addressed,鈥 he added.

    Iran鈥檚 attack follows the deaths of several leaders of Iran-backed militias, including leaders of Iran鈥檚 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah.

    In a post on social media Tuesday, the Israeli Defence Forces wrote that 鈥淚ran鈥檚 attack is a severe and dangerous escalation. There will be consequences.鈥

    鈥淲e will respond wherever, whenever and however we choose, in accordance with the directive of the government of Israel,鈥 the post also states.

    In a post on social media, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada condemns Iran's "reckless attack" against Israel, saying "it puts innocent civilians at risk." 

    "We fully support Israel's right to defend itself against this attack," Trudeau said, "and we repeat our call for de-escalation across the region, for the safety of all civilians."

    Meanwhile, during a press conference on Tuesday, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly reiterated the Canadian government鈥檚 pleas for the at-least 45,000 Canadians believed to be in Lebanon to leave the country.

    鈥淭hese attacks from Iran will only serve to further destabilize the region, and it must stop,鈥 Joly said. 鈥淭his is a very dangerous time for the Middle East."

    She also said she鈥檚 been in contact with her Israeli, Arab, and G7 foreign minister counterparts.

    Joly said 200 Canadians were evacuated over the weekend, with plans for another 200 to leave Beirut today, and 600 seats reserved on flights from Lebanon to Turkiye.

    鈥淢y point to all of us watching, if you are offered a seat, please take it, and it is time to leave Lebanon now, and please don't go to Lebanon,鈥 Joly said.

    The Canadian government has been encouraging Canadians to leave Lebanon since last October, though that message has increased in urgency in recent weeks.
