BERLIN (AP) — Germany ordered the closure of all three Iranian consulates in the country Thursday in response to the execution of an Iranian-German prisoner Jamshid Sharmahdwho lived in the United States and was kidnapped in Dubai by Iranian security forces in 2020.
Sharmahd, 69, was put to death Monday in Iran on charges of terrorism, the Iranian judiciary said. That followed a 2023 lawsuit that Germany, the US and international rights groups dismissed as a sham.
The decision to close the Iranian consulates in Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich, announced by Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, leaves the Islamic Republic with only its embassy in Berlin.
