The US President Donald Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Agreement.

Since its creation, the Iran Deal has been endorsed by more than 90 nations as a vital path towards peace and stability in one of the most volatile regions of the globe. Many experts have gone further to posit that the JCPOA successfully averted another catastrophic conflict in the Middle East.

Since the implementation of the nuclear agreement, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has, on several occasions, verified Iran’s full compliance with the JCPOA. In a recent statement the IAEA has also rejected Prime Minister Netanyahu’s recent allegations against Iran.  

Let’s be clear, his policy of aggression, sanctions and confrontation will negatively impact the lives of Iranian people and set the world on the path to another catastrophic conflict in the region.  

What can we do in Canada?

The change in US policy may have significant impact on Canada’s policy towards Iran as well. In recent weeks pro-sanction lobby groups have been active in Ottawa trying to convince Canada to implement similar policies toward Iran.

As Iranian-Canadians , together we need to raise our voices and tell our government officials, Members of Parliament and Senators that Trump is wrong on Iran. We want Canada to be a promoter of peace and dialogue, to stand with other responsible nations around the world including our EU allies to keep the nuclear agreement alive, and to abide by the United Nations Security Council resolution 2231 which formalized and endorsed the 2015 nuclear agreement. 

Use our simple tool here to email your MPs and Senators and tell them that You want  Canada to promote peace and stability in the region through constructive engagement and diplomacy in collaboration with our allies.
