Italian Embassy in Tehran to Resume Operations After Three Months

Italy has decided to resume operations at its embassy in Tehran, the capital of Iran, following a ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced in parliament on June 17 (local time) that the embassy in Tehran will reopen on June 19.

Italy had temporarily closed its embassy in Tehran and evacuated its staff to Azerbaijan on March 6, immediately after the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran.

At the time, Minister Tajani explained that the closure of the embassy did not signify a severance of diplomatic relations.

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the ceasefire between the United States and Iran is scheduled to be made public following a signing ceremony on June 19.

Some foreign media reports have suggested that the draft includes provisions for an immediate and permanent cessation of hostilities, the lifting of the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, and the establishment of a reconstruction plan for Iran.
