Germany summons Iranian envoy over plot to kill Jewish community leader


Oct 19 (Reuters) - ⁠Germany summoned ⁠the Iranian ambassador on ‌Monday, the Foreign Ministry said in a post ​on X, after ⁠a German ⁠court sentenced two men ⁠for ‌planning to kill the ⁠leader of a Jewish ​organisation ‌in Germany.

The court said ⁠last ​week that one of the men ⁠had been steered ​by Iran's intelligence service.

Later on Monday, Germany's ambassador ⁠to Iran was summoned to the ministry of foreign ​affairs over "baseless ⁠accusations," Iranian media reported.
