Greece–Iran relations

Greek-Iranian relations are foreign relations between Greece and Iran. The two countries have had relations for thousands of years, and share great historical ties. Relations have been largely strained though. Greece has an embassy in Tehran, and Iran is represented by its embassy in Athens. Greece supported the assassination of Qasem Soleimani by U.S. drone strike. In response, Iran threatened Greece with retaliation if it allowed the United States to use their military bases in case of a conflict between the United States and Iran.

Greece has been consistently among the most anti-Iranian countries in the world. In 2014, 73% of Greeks expressed negative views of Iran, while only 19% viewed it favorably. In 2019 Greece was the European country with the highest level of support for cancelling the Iran nuclear deal. A poll conducted in 2023 showed that Greeks view Iranian people even more negatively than they view Turkish people, with 35% viewing them positively and 53% negatively. Only Afghans and Pakistanis are more unpopular in Greece.
