OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada’s goal is to avoid a wider war in the Middle East after Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel Tuesday.

Trudeau said Iran’s actions would only make the situation worse.

“We unreservedly condemn Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel. It is further destabilizing action by this terrorist regime in the region, putting civilians at risk and running the risk of a wider war,” he said.
