TEHRAN (AFP) — Iran has expelled a German diplomat, the foreign ministry said on Sunday, after Germany reportedly expelled an Iranian diplomat for seeking to obtain nuclear material.
Foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said the diplomat was being expelled for activities incompatible with his or her status, but did not reveal the German's identity.
"The relevant (Iranian) authorities recognise that undiplomatic work was being done and this diplomat should leave the Islamic republic immediately," he told reporters.
A German foreign ministry spokeswoman had said on Saturday that a German diplomat had recently left Iran, without giving further details on the reasons or manner of the departure.
