The Iranian government has summoned Germany's designated ambassador in protest against what it terms anti-Iranian activities and destructive political positions by German officials. This diplomatic move follows a significant demonstration in Munich that saw large crowds protesting against the Iranian regime, with conflicting estimates about the size of the protest. The situation has escalated tensions between Germany and Iran as the country faces scrutiny over its internal politics and international relations.

The protest in Munich, which reportedly attracted around 250,000 participants according to police estimates, has drawn attention to the growing discontent among Iranians living in Germany. However, follow-up investigations suggest the actual figure may have been closer to 160,000, yet the turnout represents one of the largest showings of dissent against the Iranian regime in the country’s recent history. The protest was promoted by Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last monarch, who has long advocated for democracy and change in Iran.

Germany's Foreign Office has not yet commented on the Iranian government's protest, leaving open questions about diplomatic relations and Germany's stance on Iranian affairs. As protests against the Iranian regime gain momentum globally, this incident highlights the complex interplay of international relations, domestic protests, and diplomatic communications between Germany and Iran, signaling a potential shift in Germany's approach to Iranian dissent within its own borders.
