The Mayor of Montreal is revealed to have secretly visited Iran to meet the Mayor of Tehran.
This trip was not revealed via the website of Montreal Mayor, Denis Coderre, which details his trips to Iraq and South America, but via the Iranian Press.
Canadian-Iranians are reported to be furious that Coderre has met with a member of a regime that Canada designates a state sponsor of terrorism.
The Iranian Regime has tortured and killed one of its own Revolutionary Guards because he refused to fight in the Syrian Civil War.
Mohammad Reza Hamidavi, a 27-year-old married father-of-one, refused an order from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) to fight in the Syrian Civil War.
American sources said the missiles fired at the US Navy destroyer USS Mason by Houthis rebels in the Gulf of Aden, were probably provided by Iran.
This failed missile attack occurred at the same time that Iranian news reports revealed that Iranian-made ballistic missile, Zalzal 3, were launched by the rebels in Yemen in order to hit Saudi targets.
A couple in Iran are being forced to sell their new-born triplets because they cannot afford the hospital costs.
The triplets were being sold for 40 million Tomans each (around $1264) but the father has been haggled down to around 20 million.
