Iran's Foreign Ministry declared the Royal Canadian Navy a terrorist organization on Tuesday, citing reciprocity for Canada's earlier designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as a terror group. Canada blacklisted the IRGC in June 2024, citing human rights abuses and destabilization, including the downing of Flight PS752. Iran stated its move was in reaction to Ottawa's decision, which it deemed contrary to international law. The specific ramifications for the Royal Canadian Navy were not detailed.
