Canada lists Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as terror group

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says Canada has listed Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, following months of mounting political pressure to do so.

The Liberals have said in the past that doing so could affect a number of people who had no choice but to be drafted into the organization. The federal government had already barred tens of thousands of prominent Iranian government officials from entering Canada, including top IRGC members. Can

The move comes after the Trump administration warned that countries it considers ineffective in blocking imports linked to forced labour could face an additional 10 per cent tariff on trade with the United States. U.S. officials recently criticized several trading partners, including Canada, for what they described as insufficient enforcement measures. Foreign Affairs
