Canadian officials have legitimized the US/Israeli aggression on Iran.
Through NORAD, a Canadian base in Kuwait, troops stationed with the US in the region, and an ongoing supply of weapons to Israel and the US, Canada has assisted the war. More generally, Canada has worked for many years to weaken Iran diplomatically and economically.
Canada should adopt these measures to oppose the war and re-found bilateral relations:
- Condemn Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war of aggression.
- Declare it won’t formally dispatch troops to assist in the war.
- Direct all Canadian soldiers working with the US military to halt any assistance to the war.
- Bring the 200+ Canadian troops in the region home.
- Close Canada’s military base in Kuwait.
- Restart diplomatic relations with Tehran.
- Remove Iran from Canada’s state sponsors of terror list.
- Remove the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from Canada’s terrorist list.
- Repeal a host of sanctions on Iranian individuals and entities.
- Apologize for contributing to the overthrow of Iran’s nascent democracy and initiate a full accounting of its role in the 1953 coup against Prime Minster Mohammad Mossadegh.
