Colombia's new right-wing government under President Abelardo de la Espriella announced it has cut diplomatic ties with Iran, becoming the latest Latin American US ally to sever links with Tehran. The move follows de la Espriella's broader realignment of Colombian foreign policy toward Washington since taking office in August, with Trump's full endorsement, reversing the previous leftist government's stance. Colombian officials accused the Iranian government of unspecified hostile actions in announcing the split, marking a diplomatic setback for Tehran's standing in Latin America.
