Canada joins US and Britain on new Iran sanctions

None

Canada is announcing additional sanctions against Iran in tandem with the US and Britain to pressure Tehran to halt its suspected nuclear weapons program.

 

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said in a statement Monday that the expanded sanctions prohibit almost all financial transactions with the Iranian government. They also add individuals and entities to the list of designated persons and expand the list of prohibited goods. (AP)
