VOA – Iran Wednesday ordered two German diplomats to leave the country in response to a similar move by Germany last week.
The German expulsion of two Iranian diplomats came in protest of Iran’s sentencing German national Jamshid Sharmahd to death.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said Wednesday that Germany was interfering in Iran’s “internal and judicial affairs.”SEE ALSO:Germany Expels Iranian Diplomats in Response to Death Sentence for German Citizen

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said after the sentencing last week that Sharmahd was arrested under “highly questionable circumstances” and that he “never had even the semblance of a fair trial.”
