Canada dismissed Iran’s recent labeling of the Royal Canadian Navy as a “terrorist organization” as entirely baseless, amid rising diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the move was in “reciprocity” for Canada’s June 2024 decision to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist entity.
The Iranian announcement, referencing a 2019 law used to counter foreign sanctions or designations, did not outline practical consequences for Canadian forces.
