The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established on October 15, 1821 and adopted its current form on April 1, 1979.

The logo is a mix between the Coat of Arms, "نشان رسمی ایران" (English: The official Emblem of Iran), as it is officially
called, and "ربع الحزب", romanized as Rub-el-Hizb, also known as also known as the Islamic Star. In Arabic, Rubʻ means "one-fourth" or "quarter," while Hizb translates to "a group." Initially, it was used in the Quran, which is divided into 60 Hizbs (groups of roughly equal length); Rub el Hizb further divides each Hizb in four. A Hizb is one
half of a juz'. The main purpose of this dividing system is to facilitate the recitation of the Quran

The Emblem was designed by Hamid Nadimi, an architect and graphic designer, and was officially approved by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on May 9, 1980 and officially adopted by the Government on July 29, 1980. He is also the designer of the current Iranian flag.
