Germany Summons Iranian Ambassador Over Tehran's Missile Attack On Israel

After Iran's massive missile attack on Israel, Germany has summoned Iran's Iranian Ambassador to condemn Tehran's missile attack. The German government has also issued an advisory for its citizens advising them to leave Iran immediately. However, as per a government spokesperson of Germany, the Iranian ambassador was not in Berlin on Wednesday. Notably, Israel at present is fighting a three-front war, including Hamas in Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran. 

“We summoned the Iranian ambassador,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Sebastian Fischer tells reporters, adding that the ambassador himself was not in Berlin and that the charge d’affaires had attended instead.

According to the reports, Germany's Foreign Ministry urged its citizens on Wednesday to leave Iran, saying the situation there was volatile and could change at any time. 

The warning came after Iran fired waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, and Israel stepped up its fighting with Hezbollah by sending troops over the border into Lebanon.
