Hey Amigos! 📰
In a new twist of international drama, Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has fired back at Germany's decision to shut down three Iranian consulates on their turf. 😱 The move comes after Iran executed Jamshid Sharmahd, a German-Iranian national, earlier this week.
Taking to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter 🐦), Araghchi didn't hold back. He called out Germany for what he sees as sanctions against Iranians living in Germany—many of whom hold German passports. 🇮🇷🇩🇪
\"The closure of Iran's consulates in Germany is a sanction against Iranians residing in that country,\" he posted, emphasizing that the move affects \"tens of thousands\" of Iranians who call Germany home. 🏠
Germany announced the closure of Iranian consulates in Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Munich. But don't worry—the Iranian embassy in Berlin is still open for business. 🏛️
So, what's the beef? 🍖 The German government took action in response to the execution of Sharmahd, who was convicted in Iran for his involvement in a 2008 bombing in Shiraz that tragically took 14 lives and injured over 200 people. 💔
Araghchi accused Germany of supporting a \"terrorist\" and punishing ordinary Iranians in the process. Talk about international tensions reaching new heights! 🌍🔥
Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story. Keep it locked on Amigo News! 😉
