Iran's Judiciary closes two German-linked centers in Tehran
The Judiciary has also received reports of violations by other German-affiliated centers in Iran, prompting investigations by the authorities.
A spokesperson for the German foreign ministry said Iran’s ambassador to Berlin would be summoned over the incident.
The closure comes almost a month after the German government shut down a prominent Islamic center in Hamburg, accusing it of being an outpost of the Islamic Republic.
In a phone call with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on July 27, Iran’s acting foreign minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, criticized the closure of the Islamic Center Hamburg as a political move aimed at spreading Islamophobia.
