Iranian Ambassador to Germany summoned over attempted attack on Jewish community leader
"We do not tolerate attacks on Jewish life or on those who defend it—not anywhere, and certainly not in Germany," the ministry wrote on X/Twitter.
The Iranian Ambassador to Germany was summoned by the German Foreign Ministry following an attempted attack on Josef Schuster, President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany and Chairman of the German-Israeli Society, and Volker Beck, German Foreign Minister. The German Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Iran's actions and emphasized that such attacks will face legal consequences.
This incident follows a German court's sentencing of two men to prison terms for plotting to kill Schuster, with one of the men allegedly influenced by Iran's intelligence service.
