Tension between Iran and the West have mounted over Tehran’s nuclear activity and its supply of drones for Russia’s war in Ukraine, as well as the Islamic Republic’s clampdown on months of anti-government-protests. Tehran denies selling drones to Moscow for use in the Ukraine war. “We call on the Iranian regime to stop the brutal oppression of Iran’s people and to address their demands in good faith,” Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said in the statement.
The sanctioned entities support “the Iranian regime by helping them disrupt and manipulate the online communications of those protesting the regime or by supplying the LEF with tactical equipment used in the brutal suppression of demonstrations,” according to the statement.
