Iran's Foreign Ministry has designated the Royal Canadian Navy a "terrorist organisation" in retaliation for Canada's decision to blacklist Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) earlier in 2024. Iran stated the move was reciprocal and in line with international law principles, mirroring Canada's actions which bar IRGC members from entering Canada and allow for asset seizure. Canada's designation cited the IRGC's alleged human rights abuses and destabilization efforts, including its role in the 2020 Flight PS752 downing. The practical consequences of Iran's designation remain unspecified.
