Canada announced on Tuesday that it is reimposing sanctions on 11 Iranian entities, including the national oil and tanker companies and several of its largest banks, over their role in Iran's nuclear and missile programs and in financing the regime's malign activities. Canada had removed all 11 from its list in 2016 after the nuclear deal. "Canada's position is unequivocal: Iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon," Foreign Minister Anita Anand said in Paris, where G7 foreign ministers are meeting. Canada has now imposed 25 rounds of sanctions on Iran, covering 237 individuals and 276 entities.
