Canada Designates IRGC as Terrorist Organization

The Canadian government has officially designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, citing ample evidence of their involvement in terrorist activities. The decision was announced by Honorable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Security, who criticized the Iranian government for its consistent disregard for human rights and violation of international rules. This move is part of Canada’s commitment to promoting human rights and taking decisive action against those disrupting the way of life.

With the IRGC now listed as a terrorist group in the Canadian Criminal Code, all Canadian financial institutions are required to freeze their assets, and it is a criminal offense for anyone to have contact with their property. This designation will help Canadian authorities combat terrorism by facilitating prosecution and preventing support for terrorist groups. Canada has also taken a strong stance against Iran, imposing multiple sanctions on individuals and companies involved in human rights abuses and threats to international peace and security.

Iran’s destabilizing actions, such as supporting militias and supplying weapons, contribute to global instability. Canada’s designation of the IRGC’s Quds Force as a terrorist organization in 2012 highlights Iran’s involvement in orchestrating terrorist attacks in the region. With these measures, Canada aims to disrupt terrorist activities and prevent support for groups that threaten global security and stability.
