Albania–Iran relations

Albanian–Iranian relations

Albania
Iran

Albania and Iran currently have no diplomatic relations. In 2013, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) moved its base to Albania, which strained diplomatic relations. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced on 7 September 2022 that Albania would cut diplomatic relations with Iran in retaliation for a major cyber attack by Iran on the country. All staff at the Iranian embassy in Tirana were ordered to leave Albania. On 1 February 2024, Albania accused a hacker group "backed" by the Iranian government of carrying out an attack on the country's Institute of Statistics.
