TEHRAN (AFP) -- Canada denied that its embassy in Tehran was involved in espionage, after a group of lawmakers in Iran's parliament reportedly called for a probe into the Canadian mission's activities, accusing it of spying.

"That allegation is unfounded," foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Nguyen told AFP.

Earlier, the daily Etemad quoted Iranian MP Javad Arian-Manesh as saying that "Parliament will investigate the Canadian embassy's espionage. If it is proven, the MPs are determined to shut down the mission."

Iran's Intelligence Minister Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejeie is to meet the MPs over the charges, the newspaper added.

Prominent MP Hamidreza Hajbabai alleged that the Canadian embassy was acting as a proxy for Iran's arch enemy the United States, whose mission was seized by militant students in 1979.

"The Canadian embassy represents the 'Den of Spies', and this is unacceptable for Iranians," Hajbabai said.

Tehran and Washington severed diplomatic ties after the 1979 Islamic revolution, when students seized the embassy in Tehran, taking 55 people hostage for 444 days.

Iran and Canada have had strained relations after the death in custody in Tehran of Iranian-Canadian photographer Zahra Kazemi in 2003, with Ottawa seeking UN condemnation of human rights "violations" in Iran.

On November 21, a UN committee approved a Canadian-proposed resolution expressing "serious concern at the continuing harassment, intimidation and persecution of human rights defenders, political opponents, ethnic and religious minorities and other groups in Iran."

It drew the ire of Islamic republic officials, who hit back by proposing a draft resolution accusing Canada of mistreating its indigenous community and immigrants.

Branding Canada as the "agent" of London and Washington, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki criticized Canada for what he said was its support of "American and Zionist crimes" in the Middle East.
