The federal government is preparing to list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization under Canada’s Criminal Code after mounting pressure, CBC News has learned.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the talks say an announcement is expected as early as this week. Discussions are still ongoing and details not finalized, they said.
Once a group is placed on the country’s terror list, police can charge anyone who financially or materially supports the group and banks can freeze assets.
