The German government is closing three Iranian consulates in response to Iran's execution of a German-Iranian dual citizen. Germany's foreign minister called the execution an 'assassination' and stated that they had warned Tehran of serious consequences. The execution of Jamshid Sharmahd came amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran-backed forces. Germany's decision to shut down multiple consulates demonstrates the seriousness with which they are taking the execution. The estimated 300,000 Iranian nationals living in Germany will now be served by the Iranian embassy in Berlin.
