  "summary": "Canada has strongly criticized Iran for its destabilizing actions in the Middle East, vowing to maintain significant pressure on Tehran. In a joint statement, Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne emphasized the country's close cooperation with partners, including those within the G7, to maintain pressure on Iran. The statement highlighted ongoing support for efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and continued sanctions on Iran, such as US-led Operation Economic Outcast. Since 2010, Canada has sanctioned 492 Iranian individuals and entities under various acts, and the ministers affirmed that the country will continue seeking additional measures with global partners to compel Tehran to end its malign behavior.",
