Oct 19 (Reuters) - ‌Germany ​summoned ​the Iranian ambassador on ‌Monday, the Foreign Ministry ⁠said in a ‌post on X, ‌after a German court sentenced two ​men for planning to kill ⁠the leader of a Jewish ​organisation in Germany.

The court said last ​week that ‌one of the men had ⁠been steered by Iran's intelligence service.

Later ⁠on Monday, Germany's ambassador ​to Iran was summoned to the ministry of ‌foreign affairs over "baseless accusations," Iranian media ‌reported.
