Canada is reinstating sanctions against 11 Iranian entities, Foreign Minister Anita Anand announced in Paris on November 10. The measures come under Canada’s Iran sanctions regulations.

Global Affairs Canada said it was acting over the entities’ alleged roles in Iranian nuclear and missile programmes or in financing activities the Canadian government considers harmful.

Canada had removed the 11 entities from its sanctions list in 2016 after Iran took steps under the 2015 nuclear agreement. The latest announcement coincided with the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Paris.
