The Iranian Parliament, with over 250 lawmakers, strongly condemned Canada’s decision to designate the IRGC as a “terrorist entity,” calling it an “idiotic” move that violates international laws and supports the Zionists. The MPs called on the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to use all political avenues to denounce Canada’s actions.
Canada, a known supporter of Israel, labeled the IRGC as a terrorist group following Iran’s True Promise Operation against Israeli military targets. This move comes after the Canadian House of Commons urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to blacklist the IRGC and expel hundreds of Iranians.
Canada’s decision to blacklist the IRGC makes it the second country in North America, after the United States, to take such action. The Iranian Parliament’s statement criticizes Canada for siding with Israel and failing to uphold international laws in its misguided attempt to condemn the IRGC.
