Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand announced on Tuesday that Canada is reimposing sanctions on 11 Iranian entities with links to the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile program or contributing to the financing of Tehran’s “malign activities.” The measure includes six fuel production and transportation companies, four banks and one insurance company.Canada lifted sanctions on these entities in 2016, after Iran signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran nuclear deal. However, the Foreign Ministry noted Iran’s recent “repeated failure” to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency, stating that the sanctions “signal Canada’s firm opposition to the financing, development and expansion of Iran’s proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities by further restricting its access to sensitive technologies and funding.”
