One Hard Step Closer To Iran

Canada, or should I say the Conservatives, have suspended diplomatic relations with Iran and expelled all Iranian diplomatic personnel from Canada, as well as closing the Canadian embassy in Tehran. In the increasingly polarized world that is divided between East and West, I'm sad to see the Conservative government getting behind the American and Israeli led smear campaign inflicted on Iran. The fact that Baird even speaks of the Geneva convention, when our neighbour to the south, have constantly been breaking it with threats of military action against Iran. And I further disgusted that they receive praise from Netanyahu, who's government and military is constantly guilty of war crimes and defying declarations by the United Nations and the World Court.

Let me reiterate that there is no direct physical evidence that Iran is attempting to build a nuclear weapon, and that many intelligence agencies have stated they do not believe Iran is and will attempt to do so. I'm curious if there is an ulterior motive in the closing of the embassy in Tehran. Embassies are also used by intelligence agencies to gather intelligence of the government and military of the country they are stationed in. Could this possibly be a way to pull down the blinders a little more on this issue? Will the government, in the future, after Iran has been bombed and no nuclear weapons found, say "we weren't sure and deemed military action worth the risk of preventing a nuclear armed Iran"?

I do agree with Canada's stance on Iranian support for Assaad. I don't agree with it, nor do I agree for support for Hezbollah. I also do no agree with a Zionist-dominated Middle East, nor with a Middle East dominated by cruel regimes supported by US foreign policy. If we are to speak of Human Rights, it is our responsibility to also look at the ones around us who are constantly violating them.
