Iran terror designation up to national security agencies, not MPs, Liberals say

OTTAWA – The Liberals say it’s up to national security agencies to decide whether Canada deems a branch of Iran’s military to be a terrorist group, which the Conservatives are calling a cop-out.
Members of Parliament passed a motion in 2018 to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, but it remains off the list.

With Iranians facing a violent human-rights crackdown, the Conservatives have renewed their calls to have the Revolutionary Guards listed as a terror group.
