Tehran: Iran on Sunday summoned Germany’s charge d’affaires over “unacceptable” remarks by German officials after the killing of a top general in a US strike, the foreign ministry said.
In the aftermath of Friday’s US drone strike that killed General Qasem Soleimani, some German officials made “wrong, thoughtless and damaging remarks in support of America’s terrorist attack in Iraq”, said the ministry in a statement.
The ministry conveyed to the German envoy Iran’s “serious protest” at such “one-sided and unacceptable” remarks, the statement added.
On Friday, a German government spokeswoman said the US strike that killed Soleimani and a top Iraqi military commander was in reaction to “provocations” from Tehran.
“The American action is a reaction to a series of military provocations for which Iran carries responsibility,” said the spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer. (AFP)
