Canada sanctions ten Iranian individuals and entities

Canadan Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on Wednesdat that Canada is imposing sanctions against 10 Iranian individuals and entities.

“Canada is using every tool at its disposal, including targeted sanctions, to respond to the Iranian regime’s abhorrent conduct – from threatening international peace and security to committing pervasive human rights violations,” Anand said in a statement.

The sanctions target senior Iranian security and government officials, as well as state-directed entities “involved in digital repression“, including Iran’s Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.
