The Netherlands will close its embassy in Tehran

Dutch authorities decided to close the embassy in Tehran on Sunday, 14 April, due to rising tensions between Iran and Israel.

The kingdom’s foreign ministry said.

“The Dutch embassy in Tehran and the consulate in Erbil will be closed to the public this Sunday as a precautionary measure,” the report said.

It is noted that on 14 April the Dutch Foreign Ministry will decide on the opening of consular offices.

Earlier, the Austrian Foreign Ministry urged citizens of the republic to refrain from travelling to Iran and to leave the country those who are already there.
