Canada is restoring sanctions against 11 Iranian entities it had delisted in 2016. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announced the change on November 10 in Paris, where G7 foreign ministers were meeting. The listings are measures under Canadian regulations.

Global Affairs Canada says the entities were listed for contributions to sensitive nuclear or ballistic missile activities, or for financing activities targeted by the measures. The department links the 2016 removals to progress under the previous nuclear agreement and cites concerns over Iran’s cooperation with international inspectors in explaining the reversal.

The reinstatements concern those 11 entities. The Paris venue provides the diplomatic context, while the announcement itself describes a Canadian action. Ottawa also called for renewed cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and a return to negotiations.
