Canada Sanctions Islamic Revolutionary Guards

19 June 2024: Canada has officially designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity under its Criminal Code. This significant move aims to curtail the group's influence and restrict its financial activities within Canadian jurisdiction. The designation reflects concerns over the IRGC's involvement in state-sponsored terrorism, human rights abuses, and destabilising activities in the Middle East. It prohibits Canadian individuals and entities from engaging in transactions with the IRGC and imposes strict penalties for violations. This action aligns Canada with other countries taking a firm stance against the IRGC, reinforcing its commitment to global security and counter-terrorism efforts. The designation marks a critical step in enhancing national and international security measures.
