Germany closes Iranian consulates in response to execution of German-Iranian national Jamshid Sharmahd
ai generated text
The German Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, has announced the closure of three Iranian consulates in Frankfurt, Munich, and Hamburg, while the Iranian Embassy in Berlin will remain unaffected. This decision was made in response to the execution of a German-Iranian dual citizen. German protests have been ongoing regarding the execution, with Baerbock discussing the case directly with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Germany had previously summoned Iran's chargé d'affaires to formally object to the execution and recalled its ambassador from Iran to protest the situation.
We have repeatedly made it unmistakably clear to Tehran that the execution of a German national will have serious consequences.
The fact that the assassination has now taken place in light of the latest developments in the Middle East shows that a dictatorial regime of injustice like that of the mullahs does not act following normal diplomatic logic.
In view of this appalling development, the European Union will now consider targeted and significant measures.
