Iran Designates Royal Canadian Navy A Terrorist Organisation

The Iranian foreign ministry designated the Royal Canadian Navy a terrorist organisation on Tuesday in what it said was retaliation for Canada's 2024 blacklisting of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

In a statement, the ministry said that the move was in reaction to Ottawa declaring the Guards, the ideological arm of Iran's military, a terror group "contrary to the fundamental principles of international law".

Iran "within the framework of reciprocity, identifies and declares the Royal Canadian Navy as a terrorist organisation," the statement added, without specifying what ramifications if any the force will face.

On June 19, 2024, Canada declared the IRGC a terror group. This bars its members from entering the country and Canadians from having any dealings with individual members or the group.

Watch Trump use this as justification for invading Canada.

Seriously, though, nothing screams terrorist like a Canadian sailor when they get into a foreign port (I was one).

7. They always get their man.

I had to watch Canadian TV --
Da Vinci's Inquest, to learn
that they call them the Horsemen.

Ooohhh, scary.

5. Lol.

I’m sure that the Canadians are just anxiously quaking in their collective boots.

6. Funny thing.

We have a huge Iranian population in Toronto and a sizable one in Vancouver. None of them are particularly fond of Iran.

8. I worked for an Iranian

He preferred to be called "Persian".
