Canadian intelligence: The threat level related to Iran and its proxies remains "medium"

Published: March 11, 2026

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service announced that the threat level related to Iran or its allied groups within Canada remains at a "medium" level, which indicates the possibility of hostile activity without signs of an imminent attack.
The agency explained that this assessment reflects the ongoing risks associated with foreign entities that may attempt to carry out hostile activities within the country, including intimidation operations or targeting individuals or interests linked to Tehran's adversaries.
The "medium" level within Canada's threat assessment system means that a violent attack could occur, but security agencies do not have information indicating that such an attack is imminent or currently underway.
Officials pointed out that threats related to Iran or its allied groups often take multiple forms, including pressure on community members, intimidation attempts, and foreign intelligence activities.
This assessment comes at a time when the region is experiencing escalating military tensions, which has prompted Canadian security agencies to enhance their monitoring of any activity that could impact the Canadian interior.
Authorities confirm that security and law enforcement agencies continue close coordination to follow international developments and assess any potential risks to national security, while maintaining monitoring and prevention measures to ensure the protection of citizens and communities within Canada.
