Italy says it will re-open embassy in Tehran on Friday Italy's embassy in Tehran will reopen on Friday after more than three months of closure due to the war in Iran, the foreign ministry said on Wednesday. "Our embassy in Tehran will re-open its doors on Friday," Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told Italy's parliament. After the US and Israel began the war with air strikes on Iran, Italy in early March decided to temporarily close its embassy and move its staff to neighbouring Azerbaijan for security reasons.
