Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand declared that "Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons," as Canada reimposed sanctions on 11 Iranian entities, reversing the February 2016 removal after Iran complied with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) limits on its nuclear program under the 2015 Joint Action Plan.
￭ The targeted entities include the National Iranian Oil Company, the National Iranian Tanker Company, the Nuclear Fuel Production and Procurement Company, the Nuclear Reactors Fuel Company, Kala Naft, Naftiran Intertrade Company, Mallat Bank, Mali Bank of Iran, the Bank of Industry and Mines, the Export Development Bank of Iran and the Insurance Company of Iran.
