The Canadian government has listed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity under the country’s criminal code, effective Wednesday (June 19).
The announcement was made by Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs.
“Based on their actions, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the IRGC has knowingly carried out, attempted to carry out, participated in or facilitated a terrorist activity, or has knowingly acted on behalf of, at the direction of, or in association with an entity that has knowingly carried out terrorist activity. Listing the IRGC means that they are a terrorist group,” LeBlanc said in a statement.
“The decision to list the IRGC through the Criminal Code listing regime sends a strong message that Canada will use all tools at its disposal to combat the terrorist activity of the IRGC, conducted both unilaterally and in knowing association with listed terrorist entities such as Hizballah and Hamas.”
