Colombia cuts ties with Iran over unspecified charges
Colombia has decided to cut diplomatic ties with Iran, accusing it of supporting drug trafficking gangs and threatening national security, despite lacking evidence to support these claims. The government explained that the decision to sever relations was driven by national security concerns and criticized Tehran for obstructing navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and attacking Middle Eastern countries. However, Colombia will maintain all consular relations with Iran. This move comes as part of Colombia's new alliances led by right-wing President Gustavo Petro, who is supported by the United States, and aims to strengthen the country's political and security position in the region.
