Canadian officials say they will only ease sanctions if Iran demilitarizes its nuclear program, noting Iran's record isn't trustworthy.

The Canadian government has not shared US President Barack�Obama's enthusiasm over the deal reached with Iran over its nuclear program last Thursday, by which the Islamic regime continues enriching uranium at reduced�levels�in exchange for the removal of sanctions.

Canadian�Foreign�Minister Rob Nicholson responded to the deal,�warning that the Islamic regime may still�be able to obtain a nuclear weapon even with�the agreement.

"We have to make every possible diplomatic effort to ensure that Iran will never be able to achieve the ability to develop a nuclear weapon," said Nicholson, noting such a development could spark a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.

The�foreign�minister added that "Iran's�track�record is not one that encourages trust."

He announced that Canada has decided to allocate $3 million for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to oversee the implementation of the nuclear deal.

Canada will continue to judge Iran based on its�actions�and not on its words, concluded Nicholson.

James Bezan, the parliamentary secretary to Defense Minister Jason Kenney, told the Canadian�CBC News�that Canada will only consider removing sanctions on Iran if it is sure the latter "finally and honestly" neutralizes�the military aspects of its nuclear program,

"Until then, we are going to be very conscientious and skeptical of the outcome here," concluded Bezan.
