The Assistant to Foreign Minister and Director General for the Americas Department at the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Issa Kameli, has strongly condemned the Canadian government for imposing sanctions on several Iranian individuals and entities under the pretext of human rights violations and regional activities.

 

Kameli emphasized that the new sanctions imposed by Canada against Iran under the pretext of human rights are a political and deceitful move that contradicts the principles of the United Nations Charter and international laws governing free trade between countries.

 

He stated that the move is unlawful, illegitimate, and a violation of the human rights of the Iranian people, making the Canadian government internationally accountable.

 

The director general for the Americas Department also pointed out that Canada itself is among the major violators of human rights, including through its complicity and deliberate participation in the genocide of the Palestinian people.

 

He advised Canadian officials to make reforms in their own domestic and international performances and cease the systematic policy of colonial extermination of indigenous populations instead of leveling accusations against others.

 

Meanwhile, Kameli urged Canada to hold itself accountable for its complicity in the genocide and war crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian people and other human rights violations.

 

Kameli rejected the repeated and irresponsible claims regarding Iran's involvement in the Ukraine conflict, stressing that repeating a lie does not turn it into reality.

 

He reaffirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran has no involvement in this conflict, adding Iran's principled position has always been opposition to war and stressing the necessity of resolving conflicts through diplomatic negotiations between the warring parties.
