Canada has reimposed sanctions on 11 Iranian entities, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announced November 10.
Global Affairs Canada said the entities had been removed from the Canadian sanctions list in 2016 following implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The department linked the new listings to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic-missile programs and related financing activity.
The measure was announced while Anand was attending a G7 foreign ministers’ meeting. Sanctions are a government policy action; the release does not describe a Canadian court finding against the listed entities.
