WANA (Sep 03) – Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the reopening of its embassy in Iran, which had been temporarily closed in June 2025.

 

According to a statement, the decision to reopen the embassy in Tehran was made following improvements in the city’s security situation. Embassy operations are set to resume on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “In light of the improved security conditions in Iran, it has been decided that the embassy will resume its activities from Tuesday, September 16, 2025.”
