Why it matters:
The allegations seems to ba a part of a smear campaign against Islamic Rpublic to represent the Israeli regime as a victim of the recent U.S.-Israeli imposed war on Iran. Germany refused to condemn the aggression on Iran.
What he's saying:
Alireza Yousefi, Assistant to Iran's Foreign Minister denounced the accusations as part of an ongoing political smear campaign rooted in the "destructive" stance of the German Chancellor in supporting Israel’s “aggressive crimes”, including assassinations of civilians, scientists, and military personnel in Iran.
Key points:
- Iran emphasized its long-standing respect and protection for religious minorities, including Jews, citing the safety of synagogues and Jewish citizens within Iran as clear evidence against the allegations.
Go deeper:
Iran has long differentiated between Zionism and Judaism, often stressing that its conflict is with the Israeli regime, not Jewish people or faith. The country is home to one of the largest Jewish populations in West Asia, with active synagogues and religious freedoms generally respected.
