Azerbaijan reopens its embassy in Tehran

Iran has taken appropriate measures to ensure the security of the new building of the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in compliance with its obligations in the domain of diplomatic protection under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, read the statement.

Iranian Government Spokesman, Ali Bahadori Jahromi, hailed the reopening of Azerbaijan’s embassy in Tehran as an outcome of the "result-oriented diplomacy" of the administration of the late President Ebrahim Raisi. 

In a statement posted on X, he said the move was achieved through the serious pursuit of interim President Mohammad Mokhber and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Tehran-Baku relations were strained in January last year following an attack on Azerbaijan’s embassy in Tehran, which prompted Baku to close it over what it called a “terrorist act.”

A probe carried out by Iran’s government found that the attack was motivated by “personal and family-related problems.”
