Czechia recalls ambassador from Tehran

The Czech minister of foreign affairs, Petr Macinka, has recalled the country’s ambassador in Iran, Vítězslav Grepl, to Prague, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Adam Čörgö said on Friday evening.

Mr. Macinka made the decision in view of Iran’s hostile and unprovoked actions against Gulf states uninvolved in the current conflict in the Middle East as well as partners and allies of Czechia, Mr. Čörgö said.

The country’s embassy in Tehran will be headed by a chargé d’affaires.
