Canada closes Embassy in Iran

Canada abruptly closed its embassy in Iran and expelled Iranian diplomats in Ottawa Friday


Canada abruptly closed its embassy in Iran and expelled Iranian diplomats in Ottawa Friday, citing safety concerns in Tehran and the long-standing view that Iran is a significant threat to global peace.

"The Iranian regime has shown blatant disregard for the Vienna Convention and its guarantee of protection for diplomatic personnel," Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Friday, formally listing Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism.

"Under the circumstances, Canada can no longer maintain a diplomatic presence in Iran,” he said in a statement. “Our diplomats serve Canada as civilians and their safety is our No. 1 priority."

A senior official told CTV News there was a credible threat to Canadian diplomats in Iran.

Wolfowitz was behind 9/11....along with his other counterparts Bush, Rumpsfeld and Cheyney.

Is it any surprise Canada is siding with America? All part of the North American Union.

There's not a country in the world that doesn't have a corrupt government. Just some stand out more than others.

Right on guys, good thread.
