Tehran: Switzerland's Embassy in Iran has resumed its activities following a ceasefire that concluded the war of aggression imposed by the US and Israel against the Islamic Republic. As of April 20, a Swiss team has returned to Tehran, according to the Swiss Embassy's announcement on its X account on Friday.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the temporary closure of the Swiss Embassy took place on March 11 due to the deteriorating security situation. However, with the recent ceasefire, four embassy staff members were able to travel overland via Azerbaijan and are now in Tehran preparing for the gradual resumption of operations.

The conflict began following the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Leader of the Islamic Revolution, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28. The US and Israeli forces further exacerbated the situation by attacking a school in Minab, southern Iran, the same day, resulting in the martyrdom of over 160 children and school staff members.
