Canada Severs Ties with Iran – Closes Embassy – Iran Calls Out Canada as Extremist Government!

The Canadian Government severed ties with Iran by closing its embassy in Tehran and expelled Iranian Diplomats from Canada on the 7th of September, announcing that Canada now considers Iran to be a State Sponsor of Terror according to the CBC. The Canadian Government has been roundly criticized for its move in the direction of sanity by the Iranian Government

Iran on Monday said Canada had a “neo-conservative extremist government” as it kept up a furious response to Ottawa’s decision last week to cut diplomatic ties.
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi used that description in an interview with the Iranian parliament’s website (icana.ir) in which he also said the Canadian government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper was “boundlessly defending international Zionism”.

In 2009, during the “elections” in Iran that produced nationwide protests that were brutally put down by the Iranian Theocratic Regime, the Canadian’s did what they could to aid those protestors by opening embassy doors to teh wounded. The Canadian Government issued a formal statement on August 4th (See Statement from Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, August 4th 2009). While hired “hit men” were dispatched by the Ayatollahs, using motorcycles and hatchets to break up a large crowd of demonstrators, the Canadians opened their embassy doors, along with a few other European Nations who had diplomatic ties to the Iranian government. It was the beginning of a revolution that was widely unreportedby the Press, and the was not even addressed by the Pro-Democracy, U.S. Administration until the 3 weeks after the first of the conflicts began when President Obama, “condemned the violence”

Given Iran’s recent ramping up of morality laws, which include prison, torture and execution for those who do not comply with its strict moral code (it is anti-women, anti-LGBT, anti-west), the insane rhetoric coming from the Iranian Government regarding Israel and the real threat of a nuclear Iran - why the Canadian’s pulled out their personnel is truly anyone’s best guess. The fact that they did so hastily and without reservations, makes one wonder what they might know is about to happen in the Middle East. It is not a move that would be made without some serious consideration, given that Canada has citizens inside Iran’s prison. The fact that the Canadian’s do not “grandstand” is another reason to be concerned.
