  Written by Mahmoud Hakamian Two-minute read On Sunday morning, April 14, the Iranian regime launched an unprecedented attack against Israel, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Despite military experts’ assessments that the attack failed, it underscores  Iran’s role as a focal point  of regional conflict. The October 7th attack sent shockwaves globally. Despite ample evidence implicating the Iranian regime, Western governments dismissed Tehran’s involvement, adhering to a flawed appeasement policy toward the primary state sponsor of terrorism. They disregarded explicit statements from Revolutionary Guards  (IRGC) commanders boasting  about their direct role in the attack. For decades, the Iranian Resistance has urged the international community to adopt a resolute stance against the Iranian regime’s aggression and terrorism. Despite persistent calls, the failed appeasement policy of the West allowed Tehran to escalate its belligerent activities, including financing, arming, train

Canada imposes new sanctions against the Iranian regime

 Canada announced additional sanctions under the Special Economic Measures (Iran) provisions against the Iranian regime for gross human rights violations and for its involvement in the production of drones and ballistic missiles. This list includes eight individuals and two institutions, including senior officials of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and the police force.



These entities support the regime by disrupting and manipulating online communications and providing tactical equipment to suppress demonstrations. This is the 10th package of sanctions that Canada has imposed against the Iranian regime since October 2022.

The new measures announced today prohibit any dealings with individuals and entities on the list and freeze any assets they may have in Canada. Canada will continue to use diplomatic tools to respond to the Iranian regime’s human rights abuses, propaganda and actions that threaten international peace and stability. This includes working closely with partners and allies to ensure a coordinated approach to regime destabilizing actions.

“The simple truth is that Iranians want a better future. “They are fighting to protect their basic rights and freedoms so that their children – and future generations – can live in peace and prosperity,” Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said in response to Iran’s continued human rights violations.

Canada has implemented several measures to respond to these abuses, including imposing new sanctions against members of the Iranian regime, making the Iranian regime inadmissible to Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, and investing in strengthening Canada’s capacity to implement Sanctions.

Since 2012, Canada has designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism and has sanctioned 147 Iranian individuals and 191 Iranian entities, including the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and key members of the regime’s security intelligence and economic apparatus. Victims of Iran-related terrorism are also allowed to file civil lawsuits against Iran for loss or damage anywhere in the world, thanks to the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act.
