The Federal Republic of Germany has reacted to the execution of an Iranian citizen with a German passport by closing all three Iranian consulates general in Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main and Munich. Furthermore, 32 diplomats and other employees of these institutions have been informed that they must leave the country within a certain period.
This hostile act by Germany must in any case be regarded as an unprecedented, disproportionate and unjustifiable action and reaction and has already been judged in Tehran as interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign State.
The executed Jamshid Sharmahd, a 69-year-old native Iranian with a German passport, has been known for years as an opponent of the regime and the head of a royalist radio station that incites violence.
Jamshid Sharmahd was the one who, with his words and deeds, repeatedly called for terrorist attacks within the borders of an independent country called Iran and against its armed forces. He has publicly claimed responsibility for the attack on a mosque in Shiraz in southern Iran that killed 14 people in April 2008.
The Federal Foreign Office must answer the question of what advantage German foreign policy sees in supporting such a terrorist.
In the last 46 years, I have never seen such unjustified hostility and negative and biased bias in German foreign policy towards Iran just because a terrorist has been judged by the judiciary of an independent country.
All this is further proof of the inefficiency and incompetence of Mrs. Annalena Baerbock's ministry!
It is deeply regrettable that after the events in Ukraine and the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the Foreign Office, the apparatus of German foreign policy, is in a deep crisis and mired in mismanagement, technical errors and political disorientation.
