How Canada Prevented an Iranian Plot to Assassinate Ex-Minister
Canadian authorities have reportedly foiled an alleged plot linked to Iran to assassinate a former Canadian minister.
Irwin Cotler, a prominent human rights advocate and ex-minister of justice, was believed to be the target.
Canadian intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been monitoring threats against critics of Iran, which aligns with the regime’s history of targeting dissenters abroad.
This incident highlights growing concerns about Iran’s international operations against dissidents and perceived adversaries, which have also been observed in other countries.
The Canadian government has condemned such activities, reinforcing its stance on protecting individuals from foreign state-backed threats.
