Canada plans to list Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization under its Criminal Code.

Canada plans to list Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization under its Criminal Code, according to CBC News. The announcement, which may come as early as this week, follows years of pressure from various groups including MPs, the Association of Flight PS752 Victims, and political parties. If listed, banks can freeze assets linked to the group and police can charge individuals who support it financially or materially. Canada already classifies the IRGC's Quds Force as a terrorist entity, and ended diplomatic relations with Iran in 2012.
