Canada Designates Iran ‘State Sponsor of Terrorism’, Severs Diplomatic Ties
TORONTO (AP) — Canada shut its embassy in Tehran on Friday, severed diplomatic relations and ordered Iranian diplomats to leave, accusing the Islamic Republic of being the most significant threat to world peace.
The surprise action reinforces the Conservative government’s close ties with Tehran’s arch foe Israel but also removes some of Washington’s eyes and ears inside the Iranian capital.

Embassy staff back a van into the underground garage at the Iranian embassy in Ottawa, Friday Sept. 7, 2012. The Canadian government says it is shutting its embassy in Tehran and severing diplomatic relations amid recent attacks on foreign diplomats in Iran. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Friday that the Canadian embassy in Tehran will close immediately and Iranian diplomats in Canada have been given five days to leave. He says he's worried about the safety of diplomats in Tehran following recent attacks on the British embassy there. He's also warning Canadians to avoid traveling to Iran. (Credit: AP)
It comes as Iran’s talks with world powers over its nuclear program have stalled and Israel is weighing the option of a military strike to prevent it from developing atomic weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful objectives only.
The move also underscores the widening gaps between Western countries’ attempts to isolate and punish Iran and Tehran’s efforts to forge closer ties with energy-hungry Asian trading partners such as India and Pakistan to counter Western sanctions. Iran’s recent push to bolster and redefine its links with Asia makes the break with Canada a less serious blow to Tehran than it would have been years ago.
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said that the Canadian embassy in Tehran will close immediately and Iranian diplomats in Canada have been given five days to leave.
A spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry, Ramin Mehmanparast, called Canada’s decision “hasty and extreme” and said that Iran would soon respond, the semiofficial Fars news agency reported.
A note in Persian posted on the door of Iran’s embassy in Ottawa read: “Because of the hostile decision by the government of Canada, the embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Ottawa is closed and has no choice but to stop providing any consular services for its dear citizens.”
Baird said Canada was officially designating Iran a state sponsor of terrorism and gave a long list of reasons for Canada’s decision, including Tehran’s support for Syria’s embattled President Bashar Assad in that country’s civil war.
“The Iranian regime is providing increasing military assistance to the Assad regime; it refuses to comply with U.N. resolutions pertaining to its nuclear program; it routinely threatens the existence of Israel and engages in racist anti-Semitic rhetoric and incitement to genocide,” Baird said in a statement. “It is among the world’s worst violators of human rights; and it shelters and materially supports terrorist groups.”
Baird said he also was worried about the safety of diplomats in Tehran following attacks on the British embassy there.
Britain downgraded ties with Iran following an attack on its embassy in Tehran in November 2011, which it insists was sanctioned by the Islamic Republic’s ruling elite. After the attack, Britain pulled all of its diplomats out of Iran and expelled Iranian diplomats from U.K. soil.
Most European countries maintain a diplomatic presence in Tehran despite increased tensions over European Union sanctions that block imports of Iranian oil. The Swiss represent diplomatic interests of the United States, which broke ties with Tehran after protesters stormed the U.S. Embassy in the chaotic months following the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Fifty-two Americans were held for 444 days.
Canada’s break with Iran removes another channel for Washington to get first-hand diplomatic assessments of Iranian affairs. Canada and Britain had been main conduits of information for the U.S., which also maintains special Iranian monitoring offices in several locations including Dubai.
But Canadian relations with Iran have been strained since former Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor helped rescue six Americans during the hostage crisis three decades ago. The countries resumed normal diplomatic relations with an exchange of ambassadors in 1996.
But relations soured again in 2003 after Zahra Kazemi, a freelance photographer with dual Canadian-Iranian citizenship, died in custody. Kazemi was arrested while taking photographs outside a Tehran prison in 2003.
Canada also has criticized Iran over the arrest of pioneering Canadian-Iranian blogger Hossein Derakshan, who helped develop the first Farsi language blogs and is considered one of the founders of Iran’s social media community. Derakshan was detained in 2008 and sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison two years later.
Canada hasn’t had a fully accredited ambassador in Tehran since Iran ordered Canada’s ambassador, John Mundy, to leave the country in 2007 after trying unsuccessfully to come to an agreement on an exchange of ambassadors for some time.
Baird said the skeleton staff that was operating Canada’s embassy has already fled the country.
“The Iranian regime has shown blatant disregard for the Vienna Convention and its guarantee of protection for diplomatic personnel,” Baird told reporters in Vladivostok, Russia, on the sidelines of the 21-nation Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation forum. “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 told Canadians to avoid traveling to Iran and warned Canadians with dual citizenship that Iran doesn’t recognize the principal of dual nationality.
All Iranian diplomats in Canada have now been declared “personae non gratae,” Baird said.
An Iranian semiofficial news agency, Mehr, said the Canadian decision was “in accord with the U.S. hostile policy” against Iran and that it “served Zionists.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement praising Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for his “bold leadership,” which he said sends a “strong message to Iran and the entire world.”
Israel views a nuclear-armed Iran as an existential threat, citing frequent references by Iran’s leaders for Israel’s destruction, its development of missiles capable of striking the Jewish state, and Tehran’s support for violent Islamic militant groups hostile to Israel in Gaza and Lebanon.
“The determination shown by Canada is very important in order for the Iranians to understand that they cannot continue with their race for nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said. “This practical step must serve as an example of morality and responsibility to the international community,” he said.
Israeli leaders have hinted that they may soon attack Iran’s nuclear sites if U.S.-led international diplomacy and sanctions fail to curb the nuclear program. World powers involved in stalled talks with Iran all hope to avoid an Israeli strike and the possibility of igniting a larger war. They also hope to avoid an Iran with nuclear weapons.
Iran’s demands include recognition of its right for uranium enrichment – at the center of the nuclear standoff – and calls for the U.S. and European allies to ease the sanctions that have hit Iran’s critical oil exports and left it blackballed from key international banking networks.
The U.S. and others worry Iran could use its enrichment labs to produce warhead-grade material. Iran insists it seeks to make nuclear fuel for energy and medical reactors only.
“We share Canada’s concerns regarding Iran’s behavior,” U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said. He cited Iran’s “military assistance to the Assad regime, failure to comply with U.N. resolutions pertaining to its nuclear program and continued violations of human rights.”
“We want all countries to join us in isolating Iran,” Ventrell added.
Baird also registered Canada’s displeasure over Russia’s continued support for the regime in Syria in a meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov.
“I’ve already had a meeting with my Russian counterpart and I did so in no uncertain terms,” Baird said.
Canada and other countries are upset that Russia and China has repeatedly used their veto powers in the U.N. Security Council to block actions that could have led to sanctions against Assad’s regime.
Iran, Syria’s key remaining ally in the Middle East, has backed Assad’s government for years, and has kept up its strong support for the regime since the uprising began in March 2011. Syrian activists say at least 20,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
U.S. officials have said they believe Iranian flights of aid to Syria include weapons. Iran denies arming Assad’s regime.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 10:23amPM Stephen Harper demonstrates real leadership because it’s not popular or politically corret to support Israel. Like America we have some real nutbar political parties like the NDP and even entire anti Semitic regions like French speaking Quebec. I truly hope and pray that America disposes of Barack Husain Obama and elects Mitt Romney. For Canadians views on Israle check out canadiansunitedwithisrael in the Eye On Israel section.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 10:02amWe have a great leader in Stephen Harper. He doesn’t lead from behind and he is extremely loyal to his friends [ie Isreal]. When he 1st came into power he used to meet weekly with the [primarily far-left] media and they chose that time to bash him and his policies [funny, they never did that when the Liberals were in power], so he permanently cancelled those sessions. Needless to say the media up here hate him, which is always a good sign for a conservative like Harper because it means he’s conducting himself the way conservatives should.
It was the Harper government that lambasted the UN last Sept. for allowing despot’s to hold seat’s of power within it’s ranks and for it’s unwillingness to support Israel from it’s enemies.
http://www.ctvnews.ca/baird-bares-teeth-in-offering-defence-of-israel-at-un-1.703445
And it was the Harper government that told the EU in July [at the G8 meetings] to “take a hike” when it was looking for bailout money from Canada.
Harper is, by far the greatest Canadian leader of my generation and the greatest conservative leader since Reagan and Thatcher. He cannot stand the marxist currently residing in the White House but rest assured, he will get along very well with President Romney and US/Canadian relations will never be better.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 11:51amAs a CND, I totally agree. Living here in ON, I see we have much of the same Liberal crap going on here as in the US…$8500 grant to buy electric vehicles, spending $7 BILLION with Samsung on Wind Farms, the Enviromental crap, etc.
I am under contract with a US transport company to haul RV’s back to the dealers here in Canada, so I spend a lot of time listening to the Conservate Radio Talk programs on AM radio.
The general consensous in the US is that Obama & his 60′s radicals currently in power will be replaced come November. Of course they will try to cheat in the election wherever they can, as they could never win honestly, as most Americans disagree with the Democrat policies.
“Liberalism is a Disease” as Rush Limbaugh says! A couple of days ago, he stated something along to lines of ” Everything that is wrong with the country, can be attributed to Liberalism”, & I totally agree with him there.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 9:35amI really like the way the US got Russia’s back in the 20 and 30s when the Marxist mass murderers ( I won’t identify their ethnicity but you know who they were..) were butchering up the slavic people of Russia.. Never a peep out of our State Dept or White House; however, when ole Hitler started using strong language to describe Jewish power and domination we had to act right away didn’t we?? lol
Really amazes me that more people can’t see the utter irony and hypocrisy in this? You know today Putin is portrayed as a monster.. They are preparing us to go to War against Putin and today’s Russia even though today’s Russia is not Marxist run and today the slavic people of Russia rule and run their Nation.. All they are promoting is a little Nationalism which we know that the Internationalists all despise.. We can’t even utter a prayer in America any longer and can barely repeat the pledge of allegiance in public but you people continue to worship this demonic tribe!
Anyway back to the topic at hand.. Canada like the US is ruled and controlled by the Jewish International. Outside of Israel they probably do not enforce any more control over a nation than they do in Canada with the prime minster being married to a Jew and the entire Supreme Court of Canada being Jewish.. Regardless most Western Nations are withering under the control of Jewish supremacist and are only beginning to wake up to the fact.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 1:19pmA little research, Mr. Engineer, would have taught you that the only evidence for Stephen Harper’s wife being Jewish is that she is Irish, a country where there were Jews. Yes, this case is actually being made on conspiracy websites. There are 3 out of 9 Supreme Court judges who are Jewish, and they usually vote differently. Jews make good lawyers, and Arabs are strong in finance. What’s the news?

You know I’ve not dug into the individuals biographies.. I’ve seen various sources stating there ethnicity I tend to believe them and whether not it’s actually the case there’s no denying that Jewish Power dominates in both Canada and the US..
You may not like to hear that but more and more Americans are coming to understand that fact and it’s very much resented.. You know I was taught to love and worship the Jewish people all my life.. I was told that they have been mistreated and persecuted just because of their religion and that if I wanted to please God I’d better promote and protect the Jewish people… Well upon learning of their domination through treachery and chicanery of every soceity they’ve ever been in well I’m simply sickened by the mere presences of them.

I am German. When I was 6 I saw a # on our neighbours arm. My Mom didn’t want to talk about it. That began a mystery and I came to love the Jews. When I was older I read book after book about the Jews and what they went through. Many books from non-Jews.
From your whining I deduct you wouldn’t last a year and still be a mensch.
If the Jews are really in control of the money through their big banks what is that to you.
America has the biggest military. That must bother you too, I suppose.
China and India have the biggest populations. Germany is one of the most productive countries in the world. Do you have a problem about that as well?
The Jews are very good with money. And if they use that to protect themselves from extinction, all the more power to them.
Do you hate the Jews because they are good with money? (I suppose, judging by your writing)
Do you hate your country because there are some bad apples in the lot?
Do you hate Germans because they have the best tradesmen in the world?
Do you hate China (we all should hate their leaders) because of their huge man power?
Do you know why America grew to such a high place? Because it was Americans who supported the birth of Israel and ever since. God, blessing America to be who she is, has a direct link to supporting Israel.
Look what is happening. Obama can’t stand the Jews and America is diminishing.
You are a pathetic little person. You would have been a happy Nazi. I am sure!

You want to pretend to care about the poor Slavs and Russians? How many of them did Hitler have exterminated? And I couldn’t care less about the ethnicity of any world leader who commits horrible things. I don’t care that Ahmadinejad is Persian, that Mussolini was Italian, that King Hussein was Arabian, or that Hitler was German. I care about what those people stood for and the actions they took. Those who controlled Communist Russia were atheists, intellectual supremacists, totalitarians, and most importantly felt that the ends always justify the means. They believed they had the right to force everyone to agree with them regardless of background, ethnic or otherwise. I’ve lost count of the number of Russian Jews I have personally met who were either persecuted by the Russian regime or whose parents were. Even you can’t prove that more than 1% of the “ethnic” Jewish population was involved in the regime.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 6:28amI just wonder if the Ayatollah Obama knew that this decision was coming from the Canadians?
Could the anticipated Canadian recognition of Iran as an outlaw nation have had an influence on Obama’s decision to scuttle the Keystone Pipeline? Was the rejection of the pipeline and Canadian oil Obama’s way of punishing Canada for ‘dissing his buddies in Iran?
With the price of a gallon of gasoline having doubled during the administration of Obama, I guess the liberals who ride their bikes to work cheer every decision that makes energy more expensive.
I have a strong feeling that the time for liberals honoring themselves is coming to a swift conclusion.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 6:34amHey, don’t be complete idiots!
When Obama turned his back on the Iranian middle class during the summer of 2009, the Jews DID NOT. Their agents, the Mossad, are solidly ingrained in Iran. If you doubt that, see how many Iranian scientists have been whacked by guys riding double on Mopeds.
If I wanted to know what was going on in Iran, I’d ask for a quiet dinner with the local Mossad agent-in-charge. The Jews own the Iranians and all parties are aware of the true situation. The Kenyan doesn’t have a clue of what’s going on. His money is on the wrong horse.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 4:41amIt is odd how everyone wants the fruits of liberty and freedom but not many are willing to sacrifice much for it except for the good old american soldier. American citizens don’t like war either but they recognize how fragile freedom is and are willing to fight for it. Thank God the Canadiens are willing to do the moral thing and make a big statement to the rest of the world; a world seemingly unwilling to do what is right any more, simply because Communist China and Russia have become an unholy alliance in an ever growing evil world that have started bullying the world through the UN. It is time for the other nations in the UN to tell them where to go. They do not have good intentions and the sooner the US pulls out of the UN the better for us all. Kudos to Canada.

Posted on September 8, 2012 at 2:13amSOMEBODY needs to send a message to our “Ditherer in Chief”.

How many years has that silliness been going on? And in the meantime, those Iranian centrifuges just keep on spinning.
This is what comes of giving TERRORISTS like Moamar Kadafi and Yassir Arrafat a legitimacy they do not deserve and should never have by inviting them to the UN and treating them like “heads of state”. That nut job from Iran should not be received by nor allowed to set foot in ANY legitimate country with a “real” government. He should be treated like the pariah he is, and if he continues making threatening noises toward Israel, he should be squashed like the loathsome little insect that he is. As far as worrying about “innocent” casualties if things get ugly–when given the chance, those”innocent” people usually elect governments led by people like him–see Egypt, recent elections.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 10:31pmThe Canadian government — the Conservative Canadian government — is finally doing what conservative governments in democratic countries should be doing. Do you realize, when western demcracies actually act conservatively, they elect strong government, and good government for “all the people”.
they don’t take away people’s rights, as claimed by liberals. In fact, look at the last year alone. Where liberal governments reside, and lead, check out the number of “bans” installed by liberals. From food, to soft drinks, to whatever you can find. Find anywhere a conservative government that imposed taking away anything?
Canada has had enough of Iran, and the United Nations. From ridiculous carbon taxation to mindless UN agency Climate Change bunk. Canada has had enough, and has put on notice to liberals world wide that Canada will not put up with this stuff any longer.
The United States should follow Canada’s lead. Pull the plug on western liberalism. It’s done so much damage and so much confusion with our Old World countries.
Send a clear message to Democrats, end capitulation to radical Islam, and the Muslim Brotherhood. We will not comply and cooperate with criminal countries.

Granted, they could not get them all out, but did get a number of them out. Something that Jimmy Carter could not. I can easily sing in chorus “Oh Canada” at times and with enthusiasm.
