BREAKING
Araghchi: Iran adopted a constructive approach in its engagement to ensure the European Union and the E3 fully honored their commitments and lifted all sanctions.
Araghchi: After a year of Iran’s full compliance with the agreement, it began implementing gradual, proportionate, and reversible compensatory steps in accordance with its recognized rights under the deal.
Araghchi: Iran demonstrated the utmost restraint in the face of repeated and fundamental violations and made extensive efforts to restore balance and preserve the agreement.
In his letter, Araghchi stated: The E3 failed to fulfill their obligations and instead imposed additional illegal sanctions on Iranian individuals and institutions.
Araghchi: These coercive measures constituted a grave violation of international law and the UN Charter, causing severe disruption in the implementation of the agreement.
Araghchi: Washington initially refrained from fulfilling its commitments, then withdrew from the agreement, reimposed its illegal and unilateral sanctions, and even expanded them.
Araghchi: UN Security Council Resolution 2231 has expired and fully ceased to be in effect as of today, in accordance with its explicit provisions.
Iranian Foreign Ministry: Reimposing sanctions on Iran is illegal

As pressure exerted on Canada to provide proof of an extraterritorial assassination on its soil increased, media reports claimed that the government reportedly owns intelligence tying Indian officials and diplomats to the crime.

Communications involving Indian officials, including Indian diplomats working inside Canada, were allegedly among the information gathered in the months-long investigation into the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported on Thursday.

The CBC report said, citing Canadian sources, that no Indian official in closed-door meetings with Canadian officials refuted the allegations that there is evidence suggesting Indian government involvement in Nijjar's death. 

India's Ministry of External Affairs did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the CBC report.]

The Guardian too could not independently verify the CBC’s reporting.

Days ago, Canada expelled a high-ranking Indian diplomat while conducting an investigation into what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has described as "credible accusations" suggesting potential connections between the Indian government and the assassination of a Sikh activist within Canada. India, in response, dismissed these allegations as "absurd".

During a parliamentary session on Monday, Trudeau revealed that Canadian intelligence agencies have been actively investigating the allegations. These concerns arose following the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent advocate for an independent Sikh homeland called Khalistan. Nijjar was fatally shot on June 18 outside a Sikh cultural center located in Surrey, British Columbia.

The Canadian Prime Minister is being pressured to release the "credible allegations" that his government has yet to share.

During the UN summit in New York on Thursday, Trudeau expressed Canada was not looking to provoke or cause problems and wished India would cooperate with Canadian authorities to "uncover the truth" behind the killing. 

“That is why we call upon the government of India to work with us to establish processes, to uncover the truth of the matter and allow justice and accountability to be served.”

A matter of concern for the White House

Jake Sullivan told reporters that the US called the issue a "matter of concern" for the White House, claiming that "regardless of the country, we will stand up and defend our basic principles and we will also consult closely with allies like Canada as they pursue their law enforcement and diplomatic process.”

India has suspended visa processing in Canada, putting thousands of people, including a sizable diaspora, on hold.

Arindam Bagchi, a spokesperson for India’s Foreign Ministry, said at a media briefing that there are security threats being faced by Indian consulates in Canada, while Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland rejected similar measures, stating that the situation was not about "geopolitics" but rather the safety of Canadians and "the rule of law."

Bagchi accused Canada of housing “elements linked to organized crime, linked to terrorists, secessionists or extremists who are operating freely, are being politically condoned, they seem to have a free run."

India upgraded its travel advice for Canada, telling its residents residing and traveling in the country to exercise "extreme caution" in light of "growing anti-India activities and politically condoned hate crimes."

Canada's own travel alert for its citizens visiting India warns of a "threat of terrorist attack throughout the country."
