## History

During the [Pahlavi era](/source/Pahlavi_Iran), Iran only had an embassy in [South Korea](/source/South_Korea).[3] In 1982, three years after the [Islamic Republic of Iran](/source/Iran) was established, Iran also established an embassy in North Korea.[4]

In 2013, the [Ar-Rahman Mosque](/source/Ar-Rahman_Mosque_(Pyongyang))'s construction was completed within the Iranian embassy compound for Iranian [Shia Muslim](/source/Shia_Islam) staff.[5]
