Canada cuts ties with Iran, closes embassy, orders Iranian diplomats home

And the solation and sanctions towards Iran commenced years ago .... but have proved ineffectual .... in any event, this is a welcome, unique and courageous step on the part of Canada.

Sanctions have gotten tougher since Obama and in July this year they went to warp.

Iran is storing 23 million barrels of oil that they can't sell. My hope is that Iran will capitulate.
 
Well, Canada has no choice.. They can't leave their people in harm's way.

Better safe than sorry.

Oh of course. I think though that something's really going on over there or Canada would act with finality.
 
CP Abdullah ordered a study to repair and restore TAPLINE in 2002 right after the Saudi Peace Initiative was announced.. It would still run to Sidon with a spur to Haifa. I think that died with the peace proposal, but we sure were excited for awhile.

Yeah.....and I heard that it would run out to Club Med. Bringing in Lebanon and Palestine!

Yes removing any assets and people.....are one of the first steps, in eliminating liabilities. How many Ambassadors have been pulled from Iran and others closing up Embassies?

It was a good plan to sweeten the deal for the Israelis...

Iran can go East with pipelines to Gwadar .. and sell to India, Pakistan and China.

They are in a perfect position to be transit state for Caspian Oil, and gas from the stans to the Persian Gulf... not to mention their own oil and gas from South Pars.

I think their success and prosperity rests on them NOT building a nuclear weapon.

They are still moving the OIL and using other tankers from other Countries. Some Tanzania tankers I think, were reported already. Also removing the GPS aka Black boxes. Also they are paying in Gold!

You mean capitulate regarding the potential manufacturing of nuclear weapons?

That won't happen sharon.
 
No.....I think they want Turkey to step and become the main player in the region! ;)

Well its not that great. Half their tanker fleet is parked for storage at Kharg.

I know they can still sell some oil, but they have to take deep discounts... and they will increasingly run into insurance problems.

Here's the rub.. There is only so much you can do to cut back oil production without ruining the reserves.. so they can't cut back dramatically.

Iran should capitulate on the weapons issue.. but their leadership is just dense. IMO.. they aren't playing to win.

Iran has the potential to be the most stable and prosperous country in the region.

In an actual scenario of military conflict with Iran, it is very likely that U.S. aircraft carriers would actually operate from outside of the Persian Gulf and from the southern Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Unless the missile systems that Washington is developing in the petro-sheikhdoms of the southern Persian Gulf are operational, the deployment of large U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf would be unlikely. The reasons for this are tied to geographic realities and the defensive capabilities of Iran.....snip~

USA doesn't talk about other countries being a tumour and a cancer and threatening constantly to making it dissapear from the face of the earth, Medusa.

The maps I have up do not show Turkey being divided.
