Canada severed all diplomatic ties with Iran on Friday, citing a long list of grievances including Tehran’s military assistant to the Syrian regime, rogue nuclear program and threats against Israel.
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said in a statement that Canada had closed its embassy in Tehran and that all remaining Iranian diplomatic personnel in Canada had been declared personae non gratae.
“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,” Minister Baird said.

Canada Ping!
Apparently, Canada has balls that Obama’s America has shriveled with cowardly incompetence.
Here’s hoping the Romney Administration will have the same testicular fortitude.
Canada is moving in exactly the opposite direction of the US.
Good on, Canada!
Sounds to me like they’re pulling their people out of the way before the bombs start falling...
Could this mean they know Israel will attack soon?
Harper is friendly to Israel.
Someone got the heads-up, imho, that it was advisable to get the peeps out.
You will know an attack is imminent when the Russians and Chinese start leaving Tehran for “consultations”.
Maybe so. Regardless, Obama will lead from behind except when it comes to America’s responsibilities to Israel.
With this President, Israel is on its own. I hope its attacks on the Iranian genocide machine are successful. If they aren’t and Obama’s America betrays Israel, it may likely escalate and show the Iranians what a nuke really is.
This is a very Topsy-turvy world in which we live where Canada has a set huevos and we lost ours in 2008. Although we don’t currently have diplomatic relations with Iran, our government is pathetically groveling before the mullahs to reestablish them. Boy, this is a very sad time in our history.
That's because the only 'huevos' Obama has are the ones he 'piddles' with on the golf course.
I may be wrong, but the US has not had diplomatic relations with Iran since the 1970’s. All discussions go through back channels.
Jimmah Catah and his traveling hostage crisis was the end of the US Embassy in Iran
precursor to something?
Well, Canada has Harper and we’ve got Obama. That’s a huge difference.
Yep. If memory serves, it was Canada that smuggled some of our Embassy staff out of Iran during the hostage crises, when Jimmy Carter was Pres. Time for another salute to Canada this evening, with a bottle of Seagram’s VO Canadian Whiskey!
God Bless Canada!
A hot and heavy war simulation between Canada and Iran didn’t turn into the expected nail-biter at the ole’ wargame club.
Turn 136: HMCS Goose Bay is still in the St. Lawrence. Tehran issues a scathing communique.
