Canada Supports UN Sanctions Snapback on Iran Nuclear Program

The United States and Canada have reaffirmed their commitment to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran due to its continued nuclear proliferation activities, which threaten regional and global security. The U.S. Department of State sanctioned individuals and entities linked to Iran’s Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research, emphasizing Iran’s attempts to develop nuclear weapons capabilities in violation of UN resolutions and international agreements. Canada has formally implemented the reinstatement of UN sanctions following the activation of the JCPOA snapback mechanism by European powers, calling on Iran to fully comply with its nuclear obligations, cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and resume talks with the United States. Canadian officials stated that these measures are necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to uphold international peace and security. Both nations stressed the importance of coordinated international pressure and compliance with non-proliferation treaties, with Canada highlighting its continued commitment to multilateralism and close collaboration with global partners. These actions underscore the international community’s resolve to hold Iran accountable until it meets its nuclear commitments.
