“German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Thursday announced that three Iranian consulates are to be closed in Germany in response to the [murder] 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 [murder]. The minister said this included the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. She condemned Iran for playing politics with hostages, accusing Tehran of seeking to use Germany’s support for Israel in the widening Middle East conflict as a justification for Sharmahd’s [murder]. … Sharmahd, who lived in the United States, was kidnapped in Dubai in 2020 by Iranian security forces.” (10/31/24)
