Government of Canada wants to revive diplomatic ties with Iran

The Canadians want to turn the page with Iran. And they’re taking a very different approach than their friends in the United States.

Months after it went into effect, the Iran nuclear deal brokered by the Obama administration is attracting no small amount of flak, with some of the criticism even coming from the two signatories themselves.

President Barack Obama recently faulted Tehran for failing to live up to the spirit of the nuclear deal by continuing with actions like its most recent round of missile tests. Meanwhile, Iranian leaders have dismissed the notion that the nuclear agreement would mark the start of a new closer relationship between the Islamic Republic and its longtime US enemies.

A closer relationship is precisely what Canada's Justin Trudeau wants.
