Iran Summons German Ambassador Over Chancellor Scholz’s Statements

The German ambassador was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry following statements by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who expressed support for Israel’s attacks against Tehran. According to Iran’s state television, this action was taken after what Iran described as ‘shameful statements’ by German Chancellor Friedrich Scholz supporting Tel Aviv’s actions against their country. During his address on Tuesday (June 17, 2025), Scholz stated that Iran has ‘brought death and destruction to the world.’ The Iranian government conveyed its dissatisfaction directly to the German diplomat in a formal meeting at the Foreign Ministry.
