'Appeasing bullies only wets their appetite': Tehran denounces Canada for new anti-Iran sanctions

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has slammed Canada after it imposed new sanctions against the Islamic Republic amid the US-Israeli aggression, warning that their “bullying” will ultimately affect Ottawa.

“Appeasing the bullies and aggressors by pressuring the victim will hardly keep you spared from (the consequences of) their lawlessness & bullying,” Esmaeil Baqaei said in a post on X on Friday.

“Appeasing bullies and fascists does not stop them; it only whets their appetite,” he warned.

On Thursday, the Canadian Foreign Ministry announced sanctions on five Iranian individuals and four entities based on unfounded allegations. 

Canada claimed that the sanctioned individuals and entities were involved in “directed activities” that it claimed undermined international peace, security, and stability.

The sanctions come as the US and Israel started the new round of aerial aggression on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked attacks on the country.

The attacks led to the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the strikes by launching barrages of missiles and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases and interests in regional countries.

Canada has failed to slam the unprovoked aggression that has killed hundreds of Iranian civilians, including more than 200 children.
