German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Thursday announced that three Iranian consulates are to be closed in Germany in response to the execution of German-Iranian dual national Jamshid Sharmahd.
The consulates are in Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich.
Baerbock also said Germany would seek EU-wide sanctions against those involved in Sharmahd's execution.
The German Foreign Office on Wednesday announced that its ambassador to Iran, Markus Potzel, had left the country for consultations in Berlin and to protest "in the strongest terms" against Iran's actions.
A spokesman at the time said the "murder" of a German citizen was "extremely straining" on relations with Iran, already reduced to a minimum.
The Iranian judiciary announced Sharmahd's execution on Monday. He was sentenced to death in 2023 after a controversial trial on terrorism charges.
The German government, relatives and human rights activists strongly rejected the accusations against him.

Killing 2,000 Jews via Hamas is ok?
Krauts are exagerating
Good point. It was ultimately an Iran backed mass murder of Jews.
