Canada Closes Embassy in Iran, Expels Iranian Diplomats from Canada

September 7, 2012 – Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird today issued the following statement:

“Canada has closed its embassy in Iran, effective immediately, and declared personae non gratae all remaining Iranian diplomats in Canada.

“Canada’s position on the regime in Iran is well known. Canada views the Government of Iran as the most significant threat to global peace and security in the world today.

“The Iranian regime is providing increasing military assistance to the Assad regime; it refuses to comply with UN resolutions pertaining to its nuclear program; it routinely threatens the existence of Israel and engages in racist anti-Semitic rhetoric and incitement to genocide; it is among the world’s worst violators of human rights; and it shelters and materially supports terrorist groups, requiring the Government of Canada to formally list Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism under the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act.

“Moreover, the Iranian regime has shown blatant disregard for the Vienna Convention and its guarantee of protection for diplomatic personnel. Under the circumstances, Canada can no longer maintain a diplomatic presence in Iran. Our diplomats serve Canada as civilians, and their safety is our number one priority.

“Diplomatic relations between Canada and Iran have been suspended. All Canadian diplomatic staff have left Iran, and Iranian diplomats in Ottawa have been instructed to leave within five days.

“Canadians in Iran seeking routine consular and passport services should contact the Embassy of Canada in Ankara, Turkey, or any other Canadian mission. Those who require urgent assistance should contact the Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa, by calling collect at 613-996-8885 or by sending an email to sos@international.gc.ca.

“Canada has updated its Travel Reports and Warnings to advise Canadians to avoid all travel to Iran. Canadians who have Iranian nationality are warned in particular that the Iranian regime does not recognize the principle of dual nationality. By doing so, Iran makes it virtually impossible for Government of Canada officials to provide consular assistance to Iranian-Canadians in difficulty.”

Pretty strong words there.

Wonder how Iran becomes the most significant threat to global security for Canada (the 52nd US state)

Strong but very true as well.

 

[Jango]

Strong but very true as well.

So Taliban and Al-Qaeda are finished?

We can just keep on picking and choosing threats to global security based on some narrow objectives? What was the criteria for labeling Iran as a Global threat to world security?

Have they been attacking any country or occupying it or have done so in the past 40 odd years?

Have they been threatening countries and killing innocent on a daily basis?

etc etc?

Not surprised, Canadian government is completely in Israel's pocket, and their zealousness rivals only US Congress.

On the similar note, Canada also was considering the law that anyone who criticize Israel, is anti-Semitic Is this law passed now? California already did it as well.

If Israel would be any smarter, they wouldnt push puppet politicians to such stupidity, because they discredit themselves in the process.

Meh, its not like the two countries had a decent relationship anyway.

It makes to difference to Iran or Canada.

It only increases Iran's isolation in the international community.

Canada is basing its foreign policy on decent human values, rather than valuing drinking tea with murderous thieving thugs. If that means Canada stands with Israel and you object to that, don't you need to ask yourself Why?

 

[Juice]

Well, the Iranians still have a UN mission...if we really need to talk...

A two day meeting of the NAM is not exactly a substitute for proper diplomatic relationships with major powers.
