Iran's official news agency IRNA reported on March 29 that the Azerbaijani Embassy in the capital Tehran will soon resume operations.

IRNA quoted an unnamed Iranian Foreign Ministry official as saying that Tehran and Baku had reached positive agreements, amid diplomatic efforts to normalize bilateral relations. According to the official, in addition to reopening embassies, official meetings between the two countries are also being planned.

According to IRNA , Iran will send a new ambassador to Azerbaijan, after the mission of Ambassador Seyed Abbas Mousavi as Iran's Special Envoy to Azerbaijan ends.

Baku has closed the Azerbaijani embassy in Tehran after an armed attack on the diplomatic mission on January 27, 2023, which killed one employee and injured two others. Baku called the attack a “terrorist act,” but Tehran cited the results of an investigation as saying the attacker had “personal” motives.

Over the past months, Iran and Azerbaijan have stepped up diplomatic efforts to restore relations.
