Conservative MP Warns 700 IRGC Members Active in Canada Pose Security Threat

MP Melissa Lantsman says IRGC agents use Canada as a safe haven to fundraise and intimidate diaspora communities amid ongoing investigations and removals.

  • Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman and other opposition members have warned that more than 700 agents linked to the Iranian regime are currently operating within Canada, posing a significant threat to national security.
