Bakhshayeshi said that closure of the Canadian embassy in Tehran was a nonconformist act of Ottawa that was furious at Iran's power during the 16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement which was held in the Iranian capital from August 26-31..
For the same reason, Bakhshayeshi added, Ottawa has started evacuating its Tehran embassy since four months ago but finally decided to pretend that its closure was for Iran's support for Syria.
As for mounting international pressures on Iran, the parliamentarian said the US and the Zionist regime who found their military threats against Iran as useless, thought they could isolate Tehran by imposing further sanctions.
Dismissing the idea, Bakhshayeshi said they were acting in vain.
