Tehran's ParkI mentioned Saturday that I thought it likely that Israel will attack Iran in October. We cannot be certain, as we cannot know what Obama’s poll numbers will be in October. Obama is not receiving the traditional post-convention bounce in the polls, and this makes an attack more likely. Another piece may be falling into place.
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia — Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has severed Canadian ties with Iran over its sponsorship of terrorism and amid fears about the safety of diplomats in the country.
Baird says the Canadian embassy in Tehran will close immediately and Iranian diplomats in Canada have been given five days to leave.
The skeleton staff that was operating Canada’s Tehran mission has already fled the country.
Baird says he’s worried about the safety of diplomats in Tehran following recent attacks on the British embassy.
Giving such an announcement while holding talks with Russia does seem odd. Russia, not Iran, may be the intended recipient of this news. Something seems to be building. I suggest that you keep your gas tank filled.
I have an acquaintance who has worked in Iran in the past as an oil consultant. He is not there now—smart man.
