Canada Reimposes Sanctions on 11 Iranian Companies Over Nuclear Concerns

Canada has reinstated sanctions on 11 Iranian companies, saying the measures are intended to disrupt financial networks supporting Iran’s nuclear programme. The restrictions limit specified financial and property transactions involving the listed entities by people in Canada and Canadians abroad. The companies were removed from Canada’s sanctions list in 2016 after Iran took steps under the 2015 nuclear deal. Canada’s latest move follows renewed UN sanctions and concerns over Iran’s cooperation with international nuclear inspectors.
