Iran summons German envoy, protests over Chancellor Merz’ support to Israel

Berlin/Tehran, June 20 (UNI) Iran’s Foreign Ministry has summoned Germany’s envoy to Tehran Markus Potezel, issuing strong protests over the “unwise and irresponsible” statements given German chancellor Friedrich Merz, saying that his calls in supporting Israeli actions against Iran violate international law, Tehran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported.

IRNA reported that the country’s Foreign Ministry conveyed Tehran’s “strong protest” to Markus Potzel over the German Chancellor’s remarks, which he described as an “implicit endorsement of lawbreaking and the use of force against a peaceful country and government,” reports Times of Israel.

In the meeting, Iran underscored Germany’s international commitment, as a signatory to the United Nations Charter, to oppose aggressive acts that breach international law.

It asserted that Israel’s armed attack on Iran “explicitly violates Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the UN Charter and is a clear instance of an aggressive act that must be condemned by all UN member states.”
