Canada reimposes sanctions on 11 Iranian entities.

Canada has reimposed sanctions on 11 Iranian entities, Foreign Minister Anita Anand announced during the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Paris, Asharq News reports. The Canadian government said the entities contributed to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities, Iran’s ballistic missile program or financing; it said the measures are intended to restrict their access to finance and sensitive technology. The affected entities include organizations in nuclear fuel, oil, banking and insurance. Asharq News reports that they were removed from Canada’s sanctions list in 2016, after the 2015 nuclear agreement. Separately, the Saudi Press Agency reported the Kingdom’s position at the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference: support for the non-proliferation framework and the treaty’s full implementation, with its three pillars balanced. The Kingdom also affirms states parties’ treaty-based right to peaceful nuclear use without additional restrictions, alongside transparency and cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
