Iran closed two German-linked entities for illegal activities, prompting Germany to summon Iran's ambassador in protest.

Iran has closed two branches linked to Germany due to "illegal activities and financial fraud," as reported by Iran's Mizan news agency. In response, Germany has summoned Iran's ambassador in protest. The closures of the German Language Institute of Tehran and another unidentified organization are seen as retaliation for Germany's closure of the Islamic Centre Hamburg and its subsidiaries in July, accusing them of being an "outpost" of Iran's theocracy and promoting its ideology and supporting Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group.
