Iran calls five-day deadline for its diplomats to leave Canada ‘unwise’
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s parliamentary speaker cancelled on Saturday a visit to
Canada to protest Ottawa’s decision to cut diplomatic relations, and Tehran’s
foreign ministry called “unwise” a five-day deadline set by Canada for Iranian
diplomats to leave the country.
Canada shut its embassy in Tehran on Friday accusing the Islamic Republic of
being the most significant threat to world peace. The surprise action
reinforces the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s close
ties with Tehran’s arch foe Israel.
To protest the cutting of ties, Iran’s parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani
decided not to attend a meeting of legislators from different countries
scheduled for late October, Fars news agency said.
Tehran’s Foreign Ministry meanwhile said that Ottawa’s five-day deadline for its diplomats to leave was “unwise.” It said Canada cut relations in an “unprofessional, unconventional, and unjustifiable manner while resorting to misusing international law.”
The Iranian embassy in Ottawa also took a parting shot at the Canadian government on Friday, announcing in Farsi on its website it had shut down due to Canada’s “hostile decision.”
A sign with a similar message was hung on the embassy door.
Ivan Sekretarev/The Associated PressStephen Harper at an APEC summit in Russia Saturday said he has been mulling closing the Iranian embassy in Canada for some time.
On Saturday in Vladivostok, Russia, where he is attending an APEC meeting, Harper told reporters his decision to close Canada’s embassy in Iran this week was one that he’d been mulling over since last year’s attack on the British Embassy by frenzied mobs.
“Ever since the attack on the British embassy last year, I have been increasingly concerned about the safety of our diplomats. This is a regime that among its many wrongs does not respect normal practices of diplomatic immunity and protection.”
On Friday, Foreign Minister John Baird said he had severed ties over the Islamic republic’s military support for the Syrian regime, the “military dimensions” of its nuclear program, “anti-Semitic racist rhetoric” and “appalling” human rights record.
He also cited Iran’s material support for terrorist groups and “blatant disregard” for international protocols concerning the protection of foreign embassies. “Canada views the government of Iran as the most significant threat to global peace and security in the world today,” he said.
In addition to severing diplomatic ties with Iran, Canada took the unprecedented step of officially designating that country as well as Syria as state supporters of terrorism. The designation lifts their state immunity, opening the door for victims of terrorism to sue Tehran or Damascus for damages in Canadian courts.
Fred Chartrand/The Canadian PressA note left on the door of the Iranian embassy in Ottawa reads: "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."
The move marks the first time Canada has designated a country a state sponsor of terrorism. The designation was made Friday under the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act, which was enacted in March and requires Cabinet to compile a list of nations complicit in terrorism.
The U.S. and its allies are at loggerheads with Iran over its nuclear program, which the West says is aimed at developing weapons technology. Iran denies the charge, saying its nuclear activities are aimed at peaceful purposes like power generation and cancer treatment.
Washington has not had diplomatic ties with Iran since the aftermath of that country’s 1979 Islamic revolution. Canada’s break with Iran removes another channel for the United States to get first-hand diplomatic assessments of Iranian affairs. Canada and Britain had been main conduits of information for the U.S., but Britain downgraded its diplomatic relations with Iran after a crowd attacked its embassy in Tehran in November.
Reuters filesIran’s parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani has cancelled a planned visit to Canada.
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird gave a long list of reasons for Ottawa’s decision, including Tehran’s support for Syria’s embattled President Bashar Assad in that country’s civil war.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry statement countered that Canada violated the human rights of Canadian First Nations.
Some Iranian analysts said that Tehran is unlikely to push its feud with Ottawa too far, as Canada is a major place of residence for Iranian expatriates.
“Iran has a humanitarian concern in this case,” said Heshmatollah
Falahatpisheh, a professor of politics in Tehran’s Allameh University.The government’s move generated criticism in Canada Friday as well.
New Democrat Foreign Affairs critic Paul Dewer called the move bizarre
and irresponsible. He said the decision has removed Canada as a potential
player in soothing tensions in the Middle East.Dewer said it might be good rhetoric but it is not good diplomacy
Canada-Iran relations have been sour since the Islamic regime first seized
power in 1979. After Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran
and took 52 hostages, Canada’s Ambassador Ken Taylor helped six
Americans escape by giving them Canadian passports.
Diplomatic ties frayed again in 2003 when Iranian agents tortured, raped
and killed Iranian-Canadian photographer Zahra Kazemi then tried to cover it up.
Since coming to power, the Conservatives have taken a harder
line and, in response to Iran’s nuclear program, have imposed escalating
sanctions that now prohibit virtually all movement of goods or money
between Iran and Canada.
