PM backs tougher sanctions on Iran

Source: The Canadian Press

Canada supports further sanctions on Iran, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said as he pledged to use his G8 presidency to stop Tehran's “worrying” nuclear ambitions.

“Canada will continue to work with our allies to find strong and viable solutions, including sanctions, to hold Iran to account,” Mr. Harper said in a statement Wednesday.

“Canada will use its G8 presidency to continue to focus international attention and action on the Iranian regime.”

The Prime Minister's remarks came after the Obama administration announced it was imposing new sanctions on several affiliates of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps. The measures target one individual and four companies for their alleged involvement in producing and spreading weapons of mass destruction.
