Germany has closed its three Iranian consulates in response to the execution of Djamshid Sharmahd, a German-Iranian dual national.
This decision reflects a growing tension between Germany and Iran and has significant implications for bilateral relations and the Iranian community in Germany.
The closure affects 32 consular officials, who may face the loss of their right of residence unless they can provide alternative reasons for their stay in Germany.
However, the Iranian embassy in Berlin remains operational.
This diplomatic move highlights the impact of international human rights violations on diplomatic relations.
