All Canadians should be concerned by the @USTreasury’s announcement that its Office of Foreign Assets Control has had to sanction eight Canadian businesses for enabling Iran’s Islamic regime. CIJA has long called on the Canadian government to ensure that Canada is not used as a safe haven for the IRGC, its operatives or other elements of the regime. This is about far more than illicit financial activity. It is about individuals and networks operating in Canada to support a despotic regime that murders tens of thousands of its own people, exports terrorism around the world, launches missiles and drones at its neighbours, and arms Russia with weapons used in its horrific war against Ukrainians. As the Canadian government advances its new National Security Strategy, with an emphasis on strategic autonomy, it must take decisive action against Iran, its proxies and their networks operating in Canada. Canada cannot be a safe haven for those who facilitate sanctions evasion, finance the Iranian regime or enable its global terror operations. home.treasury.gov/news/press…
