Canada reimposes UN sanctions on Iran over nuclear program
Canada announced on Wednesday it is reimposing previously lifted United Nations sanctions on Iran, citing Tehran’s continued nuclear activity and failure to meet international obligations.
“Iran’s nuclear proliferation activities remain a serious threat to regional and international security,” Foreign Minister Anita Anand said in an announcement.
The amended UN Iran Regulations reintroduce sweeping restrictions, including bans on nuclear and dual-use exports, a comprehensive arms embargo, and service prohibitions for Iranian vessels.
The move follows the E3 activation of the JCPOA snapback mechanism in August, which restored UN sanctions against Iran on September 28. Canada said it acted in line with UN obligations.
