DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran said Wednesday it has expelled two German diplomats over Berlin's alleged interference in its internal affairs. The move comes a week after Germany expelled two Iranian diplomats over a death sentence handed down to Jamshid Sharmahd, an Iranian-German dual citizen and opposition figure accused of masterminding deadly attacks. Iran's Foreign Ministry said it had also summoned the German ambassador over 'excessive' demands, without elaborating. Germany's Foreign Ministry said Iran's latest move was 'completely unjustified.
