ELI5: What's Going On Between Canada and Iran

I'm confused. I've read the articles but I really just want to know what's happening and why. A play by play would be nice.

Canada voted in a Conservative leader named Stephen Harper who is very pro corporation, pro big oil, and very pro Israel.

Iran, which isn't pro Israel or big oil is under sanctions, presumably over Iran's nuclear program, but mostly because they aren't pro big oil, or pro Israel.

Iran is a signatory of the contracts that says they are allowed to make nuclear energy, for the purpose of having clean energy, isotopes for cancer cures, etc.

Unfortunately, Iran's leader made a speech which got 'mistranslated' to sound like a threat against the country of Israel, when really, they were talking about Israel's leadership and the plight of the Palestinians.

The Palestinians are a regional group that controlled the Palestinian state until Israeli settlers moved in and forced them off their land and treats them poorly. Many people are against Israel's policy towards the Palestinians and considers it a form of apartheid and collective punishment.

Israel claims they're entitled to the lands because God willed it to them.

Israel doesn't like Iran because what their leaders said about Israel's leaders and vice versa. At this point, there's no good guys, just a lot of loudmouths talking smack to each other, until the recent decision of Canada to close it's embassy in Iran and basically telling them that negotiations are off the table.

This is an undiplomatic move by Canada's 'leaders' who seem to be taking marching orders from Israel's lobbyists in Canada and abroad to instigate even poorer relations, and possibly start a war.
