Kourosh Ziabari - In a frantic and unexpectedly hysterical decision made on September 7, the Canadian government suspended all its diplomatic ties with Iran, closed its embassy in Tehran and ordered the Iranian diplomats to leave the Canadian soil in 5 days.
The Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird made an unbelievably offensive statement, calling Iran "the most significant threat to global peace and security in the world today." He cited reasons such as the 2011 attack of Iranian students on the British embassy in Tehran, Iran’s support for the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and its alleged failure in making confidence with regards to its nuclear program as the basis for breaking off the diplomatic relations with Iran.
Aside from the unconventionality of the Canadian government’s move, Mr. Baird’s statement was an outright and unmistakable insult to the Iranian people and their glorious culture and peaceful civilization.
