Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday reiterated his desire to see Canada�s Embassy reopen in Tehran, but said reestablishing relations with Iran is a long process that is just beginning.

Trudeau made the statement on Monday at a global town hall hosted by Huffington Post Canada.

Trudeau was also asked about his government�s decision to lift some sanctions against Iran and start the process of restoring diplomatic relations severed by the past government of Stephen Harper.

�I think Canada is sending exactly the right signal,� Trudeau answered, adding that Canada needs to engage with nations that it believes pose a security challenge to the world.

�You need to have opportunities to put pressure, to tell them where they�re going wrong, to tell them how to start going right,� he said.

�You don�t get to do that by crossing your arms and shouting indiscriminately and hoping they hear.�

In addition, Trudeau called the nuclear deal between Iran and major powers an �excellent step� to curb Iran�s nuclear program.
