Fresh Tension Between Canada and Iran as Tehran Declares Royal Canadian Navy a Terrorist Organisation
Iran has designated the Royal Canadian Navy as a terrorist organisation in response to Canada’s 2024 decision to blacklist the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Iranian foreign ministry cited reciprocity and condemned Ottawa’s action as contrary to international law. Canada’s designation of the IRGC bars its members from entering the country, prohibits Canadians from dealing with the group, and allows seizure of any assets in Canada. The move was influenced by past IRGC actions, including the downing of Flight PS752 in 2020 that killed 85 Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and concerns over regional missile attacks. The development marks a new flashpoint in Canada-Iran relations amid longstanding diplomatic tensions.
