Canada Reimposes Sanctions Against 11 Iranian Entities
By Fabiana Negrin Ochoa
Canada is reimposing sanctions against 11 Iranian entities as part of what it said were efforts with like-minded partners to disrupt financial networks supporting Tehran's nuclear program.
Anita Anand, Canada's minister of foreign affairs, announced the move Tuesday, saying the sanctions will be reinstated under special economic measures against entities deemed to be contributing to Iran's proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities and ballistic missile program.
Canada had delisted the entities in 2016 in recognition of Iran's progress under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action aimed at ensuring the nuclear program remained exclusively peaceful.
"Since then, Iran's repeated failure to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency has heightened concerns about its nuclear activities," Anand said. "Canada's position is unequivocal: Iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon."
The announcement coincided with the Group of 7 foreign ministers' meeting in Paris.
