🔸 The Colombian government announced on Thursday, the second of Mahar, that the country's diplomatic relations with Iran were cut off.

The Colombian government's announcement said that this decision was made based on considerations related to "national security at the hemispheric level" and has been implemented since September 19 (September 28).

In its announcement, Colombia accused the Iranian government of being in contact with "narco-assassination groups" that, according to Colombia, threaten the security of this country.

The Colombian government also harshly criticized Tehran for blocking traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and ground attack on other countries in the Middle East during the war with the United States and Israel's captives.

Abelardo dela Esperia, Colombia's new right-wing president backed by Donald Trump, has taken steps in line with the direction of the US government since taking over from his leftist predecessor.

Before his inauguration, he announced plans to cut ties with the leftist governments in Cuba and Nicaragua. Colombia has announced that it will maintain its consular relations with Iran.
