DW:

Leading German politicians condemned theexecution of German-American citizen Jamshid Sharmahd in Iran this week, while his daughter Gazelle angrily condemned both the German and US governments for failing to do enough to work for his release.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz wrote on X: "The execution of Jamshid Sharmahd by the Iranian regime is a scandal that I condemn in the strongest possible terms. Jamshid Sharmahd was not even given the opportunity to defend himself against the charges against him in court. The German government has repeatedly and vigorously stood up for Mr. Sharmahd. My deepest condolences go out to his family.

Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock also condemned the execution, insisting that her ministry had "tirelessly advocated for Jamshid Sharmahd and sent a high-ranking team from the [Foreign Ministry] to Tehran several times. We repeatedly made it unmistakably clear to Tehran that the execution of a German citizen will have serious consequences."

But Gazelle Sharmahd's reaction on Tuesday was furious, writing on X that she was about to speak to both German and US government representatives. "We will see in a few hours if these two incompetent and corrupt governments can tell me tonight: 1- What have they (US & German) done for 4 years when their German-American national was kidnapped in Dubai and taken to Iran by force? Besides abandoning you in every hostage negotiation what do they have to show for?"
