Canada Must Support Peace & Diplomacy With Iran

image of Canada Must Support Peace & Diplomacy With Iran

The government of Prime Minister Trudeau has said that it supports the nuclear agreement with Iran and does not agree with Trump's irresponsible withdrawal from the agreement. However, the government has not taken any concrete steps in preserving the nuclear agreement. Furthermore, the anti-Iran lobby groups have increased their activities in Ottawa in recent months trying to convince the federal government to support Trump's pressure and sanctions campaign against Iran.

We believe Canada must support peace and diplomacy with Iran.

Sanctions, coercive tactics and foreign imposed regime change policies have proved to be disasterous and destablizing in the Middle East.

Join us and ask your Members of Parliament to support peace and diplomacy with Iran.

UPDATE:

وال استریت ژورنال در گزارش اخیر خود اعلام کرد که جان بولتون مشاور امنیت ملی آمریکا چند ماه پیش از وزارت دفاع درخواست کرده برنامه خود برای حمله نظامی به ایران را به کاخ سفید ارائه دهد. کنگره ایرانیان کانادا ضمن ابراز نگرانی شدید نسبت به این اقدام بویژه توسط فردی که سابقه طولانی در حمایت از جنگ در خاورمیانه دارد بار دیگر بر لزوم بازگشت به دیپلماسی به جای تحریم و جلوگیری از خشونت در خاورمیانه تاکید میکند. رئیس جمهور آمریکا با خروج غیر قانونی از برجام خاورمیانه را با درگیری و بی ثباتی بیشتر مواجه کرده است.

ما در کانادا چه کاری میتوانیم انجام دهیم؟

گروه های حامی تحریم و جنگ سعی میکنند با فشار و لابی سیاسی در اتاوا دولت کانادا را نیز با سیاست های دولت ترامپ علیه ایران همراه کنند. همراه هم ما ایرانیان مخالف تحریم و جنگ میتوانیم صدای خود را به گوش مجلس و دولت کانادا برسانیم. از طریق لینک زیر متن پیشنهادی را برای نمایندگان خود ارسال کنید و از آنها بخواهید از صلح و دیپلماسی با ایران حمایت کنند:www.iccongress.ca/iran

As parliament goes back into session, I am writing to urge you to take 2019 as an opportunity to stand up against the illegal sanctions imposed on Iran by the Trump administration and to ensure Canada supports diplomacy and constructive engagement with Iran.

The current sanctions placed on Iran by the United States are in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231. These sanctions hurt ordinary Iranian civilians as well as many Iranian-Canadians. The Iranian currency, the Rial, lost its value significantly since Trump decided to unilaterally withdraw from the nuclear agreement and reimpose sanctions on the country. The drop in currency value and staggering levels of inflation constitute tremendous economic pressure and hardships for the people of Iran.

Furthermore, these US sanctions have severely impacted Iranians’ access to life-saving medicine. The US has listed several Iranian pharmaceuticals in their sanctions list. This, along with banking sanctions severely limits Iran’s ability to even purchase medicine and humanitarian goods. Reputable Iranian civil society organizations, independent activists and academics are warning about the devastating impact of the sanctions on those who need medical care in Iran. Many of these patients are children - including children who are living with cancer but cannot access or cannot afford  the treatment they need to fight for their lives.

As my representative in the Parliament of Canada I request that you urge the Federal Government to:

- Support the efforts of our European allies in preserving the nuclear agreement with Iran and join the EU special payment system to facilitate lawful trade and financial transactions with Iran.

- Publicly speak against Trump’s pressure and sanctions campaign against Iran on the world stage and support UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

- Support diplomacy with Iran on the world stage.

- Fulfill the Government’s promise to re-establish diplomatic relations with Iran in order to provide consular services to Iranian-Canadians and adequately advocate for the release of Iranian-Canadians held in Iran.

- Refrain from imposing any additional sanctions against Iran and oppose efforts of the pro-sanctions lobby groups in Ottawa that support President Donald Trump’s irresponsible withdrawal from the Nuclear Deal and his destabilizing policies towards Iran.

- Facilitate the transfer of humanitarian goods including medicine and medical equipment from Canada to Iran.

- Work with the United Nations and Iranian civil society organizations to ensure that US sanctions do not block Iranians' access to humanitarian goods, including medicine and healthcare needs.
