VLADIVOSTOK, Russia - Canada has placed Iran on its list of state sponsors of terrorism and has shut down its embassy in Tehran, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said.

Baird, speaking to reporters ahead of the opening of the annual summit of Pacific nation leaders here, said the skeleton Canadian Embassy staff in Tehran has been withdrawn for their own safety.

Canada is also expelling all Iranian diplomats in Canada. "Canada views the government of Iran as the most significant threat to global peace and security in the world today," Baird said. "The government of Canada is formally listing Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism."

Baird said the federal government is also officially warning Canadians not to travel to Iran.

"We feel that it's no longer safe to have representatives of the government of Canada in Tehran," Baird said.

There has been increased speculation in the Israeli press that Israel is preparing to attack Iran to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb. But, in a statement e-mailed to reporters, Baird seemed to rule out the idea that Canada has some inside intelligence about any pending military action against Iran.

"Unequivocally, we have no information about a military strike on Iran," Baird said in a statement e-mailed to reporters after a brief scrum here.

"This action is a made-in-Ottawa action and we're acting alone in this regard," Baird told reporters.

The F/A-18 aircraft is my ALL-TIME favorite fighter jet. The -16 is nice too; Lean and quick.. But the F/A-18 has paid for itself many times over and is super capable and constantly being modified.. I think there’s a ‘super F/A-18’ even. I love that aircraft!

Of course Canada will stand by Israel and of course Obama will sit on his thumb. November 6th can’t come too soon, if you ask me.
