“Anita Anand,” Canada’s foreign minister, announced on Friday, 23 Mordad 1405, that the country has sanctioned five military and political officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran under the “Special Economic Measures on Iran” regulations due to their role in military, legal, and communications activities that undermine international peace, security, and stability.

The Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the actions of these individuals have threatened a vital international waterway and disrupted shipping rights in the Strait of Hormuz and its surrounding areas in violation of international law.
