Canada cuts ties with Iran, closes embassy, orders Iranian diplomats home

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird blamed Iran’s increasing military assistance to the Syrian government, its refusal to comply with UN resolutions on its nuclear program, its anti-Israel stance and its support for terrorism as among the reasons for the move.

VLADIVOSTOK, Russia — Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has severed Canadian ties with Iran over its sponsorship of terrorism and amid fears about the safety of diplomats in the country.

Baird says the Canadian embassy in Tehran will close immediately and Iranian diplomats in Canada have been given five days to leave.

The skeleton staff that was operating Canada's Tehran mission has already fled the country.

Baird says he's worried about the safety of diplomats in Tehran following recent attacks on the British embassy there.

"The Iranian regime has shown blatant disregard for the Vienna Convention and its guarantee of protection for diplomatic personnel," he said.

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

He also condemned the regime as a sponsor of terrorism.

"Canada views the government of Iran as the most significant threat to global peace and security in the world today," he said. READ MORE HERE>>

Comment by EIEIO on September 10, 2012 at 9:12pm: I agree, Nicki, that Canada's "diplomatic" action is a diversion from the Keshe Foundation's planned release of advanced technologies. Keshe sent invitations to all nations for a symposium on these technologies. No surprise, Canada and the U.S. did not attend, and corporate president Obama signed an executive order censoring this technology in The United States of Corporate America. These technologies will eventually positively impact every area of humanity and translate into no more profits for the corrupt cabal. The read at KesheFoundation.org is fascinating. (It's slow to load; you may have to lengthen your internet search timeout).

Comment by Andy Anduer on September 9, 2012 at 2:17am: Concerning Iran, our own Intelligence agency "CIA" screw up the perfectly good relationship we had with Iran back in 1953 with the help of the Brits. Mohammad Mossadegh’s democratic government was destroyed by "Operation Ajax" you can look it up and they destroyed Mohammad Mossadegh’s life along with it.Western policies had a sudden change by the old gang FDR, Winston Churchill, Stalin at the Pottsdam Agreement.

So of course the Iranians have an attitude against the West.From what I can see it was grossly mismanaged.

Comment by Jim Braun on September 8, 2012 at 9:52am: I don't think it has eve ever been a secret. Iran really don't give a shit what other countries say or think. They have proven that ever since Kohmani went back to really screw up Iran and Armidenijad is his boy. They have in deed taken the mole hill and made it into the mountain. This fit's perfectly with the so called election coming,I believe that will not happen. October surprise? Just not sure which one. There are many things on the table at the moment. Economy,election,iran,Russia,China, and a bunch more right here at home. Martial law,Stocks crash,bank's closing,an all out assult by the gov. to destroy the economy. Still I see so many at the DNC standing around looking rather brain dead to support a lying,muslam,non-citizen,and saying we want 4 more years? Beets anything I have ever seen.

Comment by Quickening on September 8, 2012 at 9:42am: Clearly the Canadian govt has been completely taken over by the Ziofascists.

Comment by Andy Anduer on September 8, 2012 at 9:34am: Israel did the same thing many times, disregarding the U.N. resolution 242 and others. So whats the big deal.They shouldn't be making a mountain over a mole hill. I mean really, it's no secret.
