加拿大決議稱伊朗革命衛隊“恐怖分子”
Iran Foreign Affairs Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif says an effort in Canada's Parliament to brand Iran's Islamist Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) "terrorists" is regrettable.
The resolution, passed by the House of Commons on Tuesday, also called on the Canadian government to “cease ... negotiations or discussions” to restore diplomatic relations with Iran.
The resolution is expected to be discussed at the cabinet level, and it is not yet clear if legislators will take further steps to legally designate the Iranian organization as terrorists under Canadian law.
The IRGC is already under economic sanctions by Canada, as well as the U.S. and U.K. It is not yet listed as a terrorist entity, although the IRGC's Quds force has already been listed.
Tehran reacted quickly to the news, urging Ottawa to reconsider the case. Speaking to reporters at the end of a three-day visit to South Africa, Zarif said the move is against the interests of Canada.伊朗外交部長扎裏夫對加拿大議會將伊朗革命衛隊描述爲“恐怖分子”表示遺憾。
加拿大衆議院星期二通過的決議還要求加拿大政府“停止”有關與伊朗恢復外交關係的“談判或討論”。
這項決議預計將在內閣討論。目前不清楚加拿大議會是否會採取進一步行動，根據加拿大法律正式將伊朗革命衛隊定爲恐怖組織。
加拿大以及美國和英國已經對伊朗革命衛隊實施經濟制裁，但是目前尚未將這個機構定爲恐怖組織。伊朗革命衛隊的分支“聖城旅”已經被定爲恐怖組織。
伊朗迅速對加拿大議會的行動做出反應，呼籲加拿大重新考慮。在南非進行3天訪問最後一天的伊朗外長扎裏夫說，這個行動不符合加拿大自身利益。
