TEHRAN – Switzerland has officially announced that it will reopen its embassy in Tehran after a brief closure caused by the Israeli regime’s 12-day Iranian war, chanting a step towards a gradually restoration of diplomatic normalcy.
“The embassy is open again and has been temporarily closed due to instability in the situation in the country,” the Swiss Foreign Ministry announced on Sunday, saying Ambassador Nadine Olivieri Lozano and her small team had returned to land via Azerbaijan the day before.
Without direct US-Iranian diplomatic relations, Switzerland has represented Washington’s interest in Tehran since 1980.
“Now that we’re back to Tehran, Switzerland, is once again in our position to serve as a protective force for Iran’s interests,” the statement read.
Consular services such as Visa issue remain suspended for now, but after a comprehensive risk analysis conducted in consultation with Iranian authorities and the US, the embassy will gradually resume its scope, the statement read.
He also emphasized that for this purpose, “a return to diplomacy without delay is important and that Geneva will be provided as a place for negotiation.”
During the 12-day war, the United States militarily inserted into the conflict alongside the Israeli regime, launching an attack on Iranian soil on June 22.
The Pentagon claimed that the Northrop B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber had delivered the GBU-57 Bunker Buster Bomb and Tomahawk Cruise Missile to the nuclear sites of Fordor, Natantz and Isfahan.
His claims later contradicted the leaks of the Defense Intelligence Agency, suggesting that the damage was not so extensive.
Supported by the transfer and funding of US arms, Tel Aviv’s military persecution is supported by Washington’s provocative statement.
In parallel with the diplomatic revival, Iran has restored most of its private air routes after a 20-day suspension.
Airports including Tehran’s Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini (hubs in the north, south, east and west regions) process domestic and international flights daily between 5:00 and 6:00 local time.
The Tabriz and Isfahan runways, which were damaged during the Israeli strike, have undergone emergency repairs.
The Israeli regime has struck over 935 Iranians (including 38 children and 102 women), including 38 children and 102 women, as well as private infrastructure, including airports and hospitals.
Western bloc, which often declares its commitment to human rights, responded to silence or even support for Tel Aviv’s attacks.
