In a recent interview <\/span>with Simay Azadi TV<\/span><\/a>, Judy Sgro, the Chair of the International Trade Committee of the Canadian Parliament and former Minister of Immigration, highlighted the Canadian government’s decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. This move, she noted, aligns with long-standing information provided by the Iranian opposition and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) about the IRGC’s terrorist activities both within Iran and internationally.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am Judy Sgro, a Member of Parliament from Humber River-Black Creek, located in Toronto, and I am pleased to speak with you, the Iranian community, and especially the people of Iran who continue to suffer under a very oppressive regime,” Sgro stated in the interview.<\/span><\/p>\n

She emphasized the significant impact of the IRGC’s actions across the Middle East and beyond, including its detrimental effects on the Iranian people. “The IRGC has caused immense harm throughout the Middle East and has had a devastating impact on many people,” Sgro said. She also highlighted key points of IRGC’s involvement<\/a> in various destructive activities:<\/span><\/p>\n
