Peru's Foreign Ministry said it was breaking diplomatic relations with Iran, citing Tehran's 'incitement' of conflict in the Middle East, its obstruction of IAEA inspectors, repression at home and the disruption of trade through the Strait of Hormuz; consular relations will continue.
Why it matters
The break extends Iran's diplomatic costs beyond the region and explicitly cites the Hormuz disruption and Iran's blocking of nuclear inspections.
