Canada imposed sanctions Friday on five Iranian officials over activities it said obstructed navigation rights in and around the Strait of Hormuz and undermined international peace and security, Global Affairs Canada said in a news release, APA reports.
Global Affairs Canada said the measures target senior Iranian officials, including members of the IRGC, involved in military, legal and communications activities linked to threats against the strategic waterway.
The ministry said Canada would continue working with allies and partners to uphold navigation rights under international law and support efforts to stabilize the strait when conditions permit.
