Recent hostile actions by the German government, following the death of a notorious terror ringleader responsible for numerous civilian deaths in Iran, underscore Berlin’s longstanding policy of offering support to anti-Iranian terrorist groups.
On Thursday, Germany announced the closure of three Iranian consulates in Frankfurt am Main, Munich, and Hamburg, citing the execution of "a German citizen" in Iran.
The individual in question, Jamshid Sharmahd, an Iranian-born convicted terrorist, was the leader of the Tondar terrorist group and the main orchestrator of the 2008 Shiraz mosque terror attack that killed 14 civilians and injured 215 others.
