Canada Closes Embassy in Iran, Expels Iranian Diplomats: Why Now?

Is the pre-emptive strike against Iran imminent?
This is the very question that journalists have posed yesterday to Canadian minister of Foreign Affairs, John Baird, after his announcement that the Canadian embassy in Iran was closed and Iranian diplomats have 5 days to leave Canada. The minister did not answer the question sticking to his talking points, but seemed very uneasy and gravely serious.
At the same time Prime Minister Stephen Harper is trying to convince Russia’s president Vladimir Putin to cease supporting Bashar Al-Assad in Syria while Iran’s Mahmud Ahmadinejad held an “Islamic Resistance Festival,” with Hamas and Hezbollah leaders urging them to fight for Assad’s regime and warning them that Israel and the West support Sunnis in order to destroy their growing influence in the region.
And when Iran warns against a military action against itself, it actually means that they themselves are planning one against their enemies. It might seem a bit confusing to some, but as the Iranian saying explains, they are simply “talking to the window, so that the door may hear.”
The door ( Israel) does hear it very well indeed and knows that they are not having that much time left to prevent a disaster of literally biblical proportions, therefore I would not be surprised if Israel would make their move even before the end of October with or without the support of the international community.
There is also a possibility that Iran would move first to prevent the international community from getting involved in Syria and helping the rebels to overthrow the Assad regime. Russia will most likely continue to support Iran and even move against Israel, especially if Israel manages to strike first.
Either way the world will be quite a different place when it all unfolds, perhaps even this very year. It is most certainly a crossroad in history for many nations involved and will affect us all.

Great article thanks for this God Bless
Another war? That would be terrible!
Great Piece and I am afraid your assumptions are correct. I would think America is not that happy with Canada behind closed doors for letting the cat out of the bag. But good for them they are protecting there own it may though be harder for any Canadian nationals to get out of Iran we will have to wait and see.
Best Wishes

not a good sign.
Thank you for this.
Interesting news coming out if the Middle East…Please let someone sort that area out!
Interesting analysis, but what about Saudi Arabia? True, the Saudis are highly unlikely to intervene on behalf of Israel, but most US analysts count them in on the side of the Sunni rebels in Syria. Saudi Arabia is a regional heavyweight. I don’t know the answers. To see a US military analysis you might want to look at a US Army War College Strategic Studies Institute (free) monograph called “The Saudi-Iranian Rivalry and the Future of Middle East Security,” which you can find at http://www.strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pubs/display.cfm?pubID=1094. Please note this is a .mil website.
very good – thank you
Thanks a lot for this
writing is very good and beneficial to share
What an interesting piece. I love your work. Keep writing!
This is very frightening and backs up what i have been hearing from a couple of email pals. Canada has a good bit more sense than our country where our president refuses to go to intelligence briefings even. He’s too busy playing golf and going on shows like David Letterman and The View.
Canada is a good friend of Israel and we highly appreciate it.
I find it funny that Iran stats that we are on the side of the rebels in Syria, since actually Israel is very much afraid of them. We know Asad, he is a murderer, but he isn’t fanatic when it comes to Israel, he works according to interest, so it is easy to prevent a war with him, since no side desire a war.
However, the rebel are the “new kid in the neighborhood”, we don’t know a lot about them, and they will want to prove that they are loyal to Islam and the easiest way to do that is to attack Israel…
Actually the only thing we have against Asad is that he attacks & kill people for no good reason, so we want him to be stopped due to humanitarian reasons which is quite funny considering he is killing our enemies. Did I mention Israel is something too moral?
Thanks Ixodoi. I think so too. n comparison to her enemies Israel is too moral and keeps to so much higher standards. Too bad that so many people in the West do not see that and so easily get caught in anti-Israel propaganda.
Informative.
