US EditionIran declares Canadian navy a ‘terrorist organization’
Iran’s designation of the Royal Canadian Navy as a terrorist group follows Canada’s June 2024 blacklisting of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, citing reciprocity under 2019 law.
- Today in Tehran, the Iranian foreign ministry designated the Royal Canadian Navy a terrorist organisation under a 2019 law, without specifying ramifications.
- On June 19, 2024, Ottawa designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terror group, citing the downing of Flight PS752 that killed 176 passengers, including 85 Canadians, and stating, `There are reasonable grounds to believe that the IRGC has knowingly carried out... terrorist activity,' Canada said.
- Tehran said Canada’s IRGC branding was an `illegal decision` tied to a 2019 law, and Iranian lawmakers said countries that follow it `shall be subject to reciprocity.'
- The move escalates tensions between Iran and Canada and raises fresh diplomatic fallout concerns, as Ottawa's entry bans and asset seizure measures against the IRGC remain in place amid the diplomatic rupture since 2012.
- Observers note a broader pattern as Tehran's Supreme National Security Council labeled U.S. Central Command a 'terrorist organization' in April 2019, while the United States and Australia made similar listings last month and in April 2019.
