                        Canada Cuts Relations with Iran

   by VOA News

   [1]Canada announced Friday it is suspending diplomatic relations with
   Iran, closing its embassy in Tehran and expelling all Iranian diplomats
   from Canada.
   Foreign Minister John Baird said his government "views the Government
   of Iran as the most significant threat to global peace and security in
   the world today."
   He said Iranian diplomats in Canada must leave within five days.
   Baird gave Iran's nuclear program and Iranian military assistance to
   Syria as reasons for the decision.
