Canada sanctions 5 Iranian officials, 5 entities over digital repression
Anadolu Agency EN·CA · IR·1 day ago
Canada imposed sanctions on Iran's Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and nine other individuals, citing repression and censorship. This follows a pattern of Western sanctions against Iranian officials, but the specific targeting of the Interior Minister signals a continued hardening of Canadian policy toward Tehran. The move is largely symbolic, with limited direct market impact, but reinforces diplomatic isolation of Iran.
