Canada’s Iran Policy Helps Hardliners in US, Israel

By breaking his promise to restore diplomatic relations with Iran, the Canadian prime minister has provided much-needed oxygen to hawks and warmongers in the US and Israel, says a Montreal-based political activist and author. 
“Before becoming prime minister, Justin Trudeau promised to re-engage Iran. His government has failed to do so and is beginning to echo the warmongers in Washington and Tel Aviv,” Yves Engler wrote in an article published on the Dissident Voice website on Monday.
“I would hope that Canada would be able to reopen its mission [in Tehran],” Trudeau told the CBC in June 2015. “I’m fairly certain that there are ways to re-engage [Iran].”
