The Supreme Court in Iran confirmed the death sentence for Jamshid Sharmahd, the leader of a terrorist organization based in the United States, on Wednesday after deciding that there was “no evidence or reason” to overturn the ruling.
Baerbock demanded that Iran annul the judgement without delay, branding it “totally unacceptable.”
In response, Nasser Kan’ani, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, declared that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not accept such intrusive behavior.
Kan’ani declared that the Islamic Republic of Iran will never seek approval from anyone when it comes to confronting terrorism and bringing justice to terrorists.
He continued, stating that Iran considers the meddlesome and authoritarian statements made by certain German officials concerning the decision of an Iranian court in regards to a known terrorist to be a demonstration of support for terrorism and an infringement on Iran’s internal affairs.
The Iranian spokesman cautioned that these stances not only impede the delivery of justice but also embolden terrorists and advance terrorism globally.
He demanded that German officials cease their activity of aiding terrorists and cease to propagate the heinous practice of terrorism immediately.
Kan’ani stated that those who profess to oppose terrorism should not reward “child-killing terrorists” if they do not cooperate with Iran in administering justice to terrorists.
He noted that attempts to impede the delivery of justice to terrorists are a definite violation of human rights, and urged the German government to uphold the doctrine of sovereign equality and mutual respect and refrain from any impassioned behavior in this matter.
US resident Sharmahd was found guilty of leading the Tondar (Thunder) terror group in arranging numerous assaults, such as a 2008 assault in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz, Fars Province, which resulted in 14 deaths and hundreds injured.
Sharmahd and his Tondar group were responsible for the 2010 terrorist bombing of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s mausoleum in Tehran, resulting in multiple injuries.
The 67-year-old was also found guilty of collaborating with US intelligence and monitoring Iran’s ballistic missile program.
