Canada to ban leaders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards from entry

Justin Trudeau and his deputy, Chrystia Freeland, promised more targeted sanctions over Iran's treatment of women and the 2020 downing of a civilian airliner.

Ottawa is also still pressuring Iran over the Ukrainian International Airlines plane shot down in January 2020. As many as 138 of the 176 people killed on the flight had ties to Canada.

Canada plans to expand targeted sanctions measures and establish a sanctions bureau, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his deputy Chrystia Freeland announced at a news conference on Friday.
