Canada sanctions 7 Iranian individuals, entities

Canada has imposed new sanctions on three Iranian individuals and four Iranian entities that Ottawa has baselessly accused of being connected to procurement networks that acquire and supply sophisticated technology that supports the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ weapons production and sales, including to Russia for use in war against Ukraine.

This accusation has been made, although Iran has repeatedly and officially rejected sending arms to Russia to use against Ukraine.

The new sanctions of Canada target Hossein Hatefi Ardakani, head of a transnational procurement network that includes Kavan Electronics Behrad Limited Liability Company, Basamad Electronic Pouya Engineering Limited Liability Company and Teyf Tadbir Arya Engineering Company; Mehdi Gogerdchian, managing director and board member of Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industries (HESA); Hossein Pourfarzaneh, lead engineer of Farzanegan Propulsion Design Bureau; Kavan Electronics Behrad Limited Liability Company, a procurement firm; Basamad Electronic Pouya Engineering Limited Liability Company, a procurement firm; Teyf Tadbir Engineering Company, a procurement firm; and Farzanegan Propulsion Systems Design Bureau, a technology firm.
