United Nations — Absent diplomatic relations with the United States, Iran is using its embassy in Canada to recruit ethnic Iranians to “be of service” to Tehran — causing U.S. terrorism experts to warn of a possible attack from north of the border.

The mobilization effort is taking place under the guise of the embassy’s cultural outreach program, and Iranian-Canadians opposed to the regime in Tehran say the Islamic republic’s intentions are revealed in an interview that Hamid Mohammadi, Iran’s cultural affairs counsellor attached to the Iranian embassy in Ottawa, gave in Farsi to an Iran-based website directed at Iranian expatriates in Canada.

Estimating the Iranian population in Canada to be 500,000, Mohammadi describes them as having “characteristics” that “set them apart” from other immigrants. He says recent Iranian immigrants have “decisively preserved strong attachments and bonds to their homeland,” while the “younger second generation” is already “working in influential government positions.”

  1. All Canadians should learn Farsi to counter this, and keep an eye on Iranians. On the other hand, Iranians do not like Saudis, so we could play them off against each other.

  2. I am hoping that Obama makes sure that the KSA has whatever weapons it needs for a symmetrical war with Iran. What the hell. It worked with Iraq for some time.

  3. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Obama to do anything, he is doing everything he can to ensure that Iran gets nuclear weapons. Personally I think he is smart enough to know once they have them they will use them but others think he believes the Iranians will calm down once they get nukes.

  4. Eeyore, KSA can even be less trusted with nukes than Iran. Iran doesn’t just fear Israel, but also Pakistan. Severe demographic problems will make it very likely Islam will disappear in Iran. They have to get rid of the elderly, and Islam makes this impossible. Iran, and even Pakistan could be useful against Saudi-Arabia. Pakistanis are severely oppressed in Saudi-Arabia. They cannot even marry Saudi women. Pakistan should use its nukes against Saudi-Arabia to get fair treatment of its people.
