According to reports from ISNA and IFP, on Tuesday the spokesperson for the Iranian foreign affairs ministry Abbas Mousavi responded to a statement from Global Affairs Canada on Iran.
In his response Mousavi said “the Canadian government is deliberately ignoring the realities in the region.”
He further added the Canadian government has taken “unlawful” and “unconventional” measures against Iran and “must be held accountable for these actions”.
“Unfortunately, these unlawful and unilateral measures by Canada have destroyed the good relations the two countries had in the past.” Mousavi added.
Iranian Foreign Affairs Ministry also published a tweet about Abbas Mousavi’s response:
“The recent statement from Global Affairs Canada and their baseless accusations against Iran are mainly influenced by the electoral competition in Canada. The Canadian government has taken unlawful and unconventional measures against the Islamic Republic of Iran and must answer for these measures which have destroyed the good relations the two countries had in the past.”
