Minister pressed why just 1 Iranian official deported after 24 deemed part of terror group

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree faced pointed questions Tuesday about why the federal government has deported one Iranian official, despite longstanding concerns about how the regime operates in Canada and abroad.

Finding himself in the hot seat before a parliamentary committee, Anandasangaree said Canada is “aggressively trying to remove” members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — a branch of Iran’s military that Canada listed as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code in 2024 — but said due process has to be followed.
