Iran claims its Canadian embassy was attacked

Iran's duplicitous, propaganda-happy Foreign Ministry, embarrassed at having to announce the sudden and unexpected expulsion of its diplomats from Canada yesterday, is making preposterous claims about the Iranian embassy in Ottawa having been attacked.

No such attack has ever taken place in Canada, but Iran is a country whose leaders lie as freely to its own people through its state-controlled press as it does to the rest of the world in its lies about nuclear weapons ambitions.

TEHRAN - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Friday that the Canadian government’s decision to close its embassy in Tehran illustrates that it is pursuing the policies dictated by the Zionist regime and Britain.  ..The Foreign Ministry said Canada has a bad reputation for protecting diplomatic headquarters and personnel and has repeatedly failed to protect the Iranian Embassy in Ottawa against attacks.
