Berlin:Germany will shut all Iranian consulates in Germany but allow the embassy to remain open in reaction to the execution of a German-Iranian national, the foreign ministry said on Thursday.
The killing of German-Iranian national Jamshid Sharmahd has put “extreme” strain on the relationship between Berlin and Tehran, a ministry spokesperson had said on Wednesday.
Germany has already recalled its ambassador to Iran over Sharmahd’s execution and summoned the Iranian charge d’affaires to voice Berlin’s protest.
