The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Canada is the embassy of Iran in Ottawa, Canada. It is located at 245 Metcalfe Street in the Centretown neighbourhood of Ottawa. Iran moved into the facilities in the summer of 1991, previously they had been based in a building on Roosevelt Street in Ottawa's west end. On April 5, 1992 the embassy was stormed by a group of Iranian exiles linked to the Iraq backed MEK. No one was seriously injured in the raid but the mob ransacked and destroyed much of the interior. Most of those responsible were later arrested. The ambassador lives in a house in Rockcliffe Park, across the street from Stornoway.
