Canadian Citizen Killed in Iran During Protests

HRANA – Canada’s foreign minister announced that a Canadian citizen has lost their life in Iran. The individual’s name has not yet been released, but according to the minister, Canada’s foreign ministry is in contact with the family.

The name of the individual has not yet been disclosed; however, Anita Anand stated that Canada’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in contact with the family and is following up on the case.

Anita Anand, Canada’s foreign minister, announced the news on the social media platform X, condemning violence against peaceful protesters in Iran and writing: “The Iranian regime has disregarded human life. This violence must stop.”

It should be noted that gatherings and strikes by shopkeepers and merchants began in Tehran on December 28, 2025, and, after two days, spread beyond bazaars and commercial centers. With the participation of students, citizens, and various social groups, these protests became one of the most widespread demonstrations of recent years.
