Iran condemns Germany over “unlawful interference” in nationwide protests

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on January 13 sharply criticised Germany following remarks by Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the ongoing unrest in Iran. 

Araghchi accused Berlin of lacking credibility on human rights and of “unlawful interference” in the region, Caliber.Az reports. 

Earlier, Chancellor Merz had commented on the protests, saying: “The population is now rising up against this regime. The final days and weeks of this regime are coming.”

In response, Araghchi addressed the German government on X, writing: “Do us all a favour: have some shame. Better yet, Germany should end its unlawful interference in our region—including its support for Genocide and Terrorism.”
