This weekend, US strikes are revived in Toronto in Iran, as some in the city, fearing their relatives in the Middle East, while others protested outside the US consulate.
On Saturday, US troops attacked the main nuclear places in Irano Ford, Nathanze and Isfahan, the latest development in the event of a growing conflict between Israel and Iran.
Mina Morshed, Toronto woman who has a family in Tehran told CBC TV Rosemary Barton Live that her parents and sister are in Tehran and talked to them a few days ago.
She said she tried to tell them that they weren’t alone.
“I’m worried about my parents, family, friends,” said Morshed.

Those who have a family in Israel have similar worries.
Born in Toronto, Montrealer Laurent Attali, who now lives in Ethobicok, said he had been trying to get their two daughters and their families living near Tel Aviv, from Israel.
He said he bought two airline ticket kits that were canceled by airlines.
Antali said the last plan is to take a bus from Tel Aviv to Amman Airport in Jordan, but this is not a good solution because Amman is considered hostile to Israelis for Palestinian supporters living there.

He said he believed the Canadian government could write a boat or an airplane from Israel to take the Canadian people.
Attali now said it was glued to the TV to find out where the bomb bombs were dropped to see if the sites are close to his family and friends.
“We were 10 to 15 hours a day for us from that evening [watching] TV. We are all on the TV, ”he said.
Protesters gather for US consulate on Sunday
Meanwhile, hundreds of people gathered on Sunday afternoon to protest the US Consulate on US military action in Iran.
The organizers of the Hands Off’s Rals in the media said that demonstrators condemn Western involvement in conflict, as well as calling the Canadian government to sanction Israel and implement the weapons embargo to Israel.

PaSa Golesorkhi, the organizer of the rally, said he watched his hometown Tehran, who bombarded what he called “unduly, illegal and criminal aggression”, which was now Israel in the US.
“We are first here to condemn this aggression against our people – and we are not only as Iran, but also to stand with our allies from different communities, from the Palestinian community, from the Jewish community,” said Golesorkhi.
Noah Shack, Director General of the Israeli and Jewish Affairs Center, said the attacks on the nuclear sites of Iran are justified in the light of the danger they pose to the world.
“The Iranian nuclear program is a threat not only to Israel but also to the wider Middle East and actually to the world,” he said.
“This is a dangerous regime and the world is safer if they do not have access to nuclear weapons.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a statement announced on Sunday that US military action was “intended to ease” Iranian threats, but the situation in the Middle East remains “very volatile”.
“Stability in the region is a priority,” Carney said. “Canada urges parties to return to the negotiating table immediately and to reach a diplomatic decision to terminate this crisis.”
