Germany's Foreign Ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador in Berlin for a formal reprimand following the conviction of two men for planning attacks against Jewish figures and supporters of Israel on behalf of Tehran, Maariv and The Jerusalem Post reported.

In a statement published on X, the German Foreign Ministry stated that the country will not tolerate attacks on Jewish life or on those who defend it, anywhere and certainly not in Germany. Meanwhile, the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany warned that uncovering the plot represents only the tip of the iceberg.
