Canada sanctions Iranian judges over alleged human rights abuses
- Canada has imposed sanctions on seven Iranian officials for their involvement in human rights violations in the country's criminal justice system. Protests in Iran calling for respect for human rights and freedom prompted Canada's twelfth package of sanctions against the Iranian regime since October 2022.

Three dual Iranian-American citizens, including businessman Siamak Namazi, are held in Tehran, and a prisoner swap could lead to de-escalation and renewed engagement with the West.
