Israel calls on Canada to list Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as terrorist group

In an interview Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, Iddo Moed said there was no further evidence needed to justify the designation and that the move should be the first in a broader international response.

Few of the weapons made it past Israel's anti-air defence systems and the country sustained little damage, it said Sunday.

The federal Liberal government has for years resisted calls to designate the IRGC in its entirety as a terrorist organization.

The federal government has used the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to bar high-ranking members of the Iranian regime from entering Canada.

Irwin Cotler, a retired Canadian politician and the country's first special envoy on combating antisemitism, says the 'community of democracies' needs to stand against Iran and the scope of its threats to global safety in the wake of its aerial assault on Israel.

In a separate interview Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, Canada's ambassador to the United Nations, Bob Rae, said the government would continue to think about how to address the IRGC issue.
