Germany has recalled its ambassador to Tehran following the execution of Jamshid Sharmahd after his conviction on disputed terrorism charges and summoned Iran's envoy to Berlin to answer questions about the death of the 69-year-old Iranian-German citizen.
Note that Germany has recently made it easier to gain nationality, including normalising dual nationalities. However in the process they weakend the position of dual nationals, making it easier to rove someones German nationality if they still have another.
Iran does not recognise people renouncing their Iranian nationality. They are still considered Nationals by the regime.
“Easier” meaning: Joining a foreign military (you are a national of) without permission, taking up another nationality without permission, partaking in terrorist acts abroad.
IIRC the latter point was added the rest had been in place forever and that it was added isn’t really connected to making having dual nationality easier, they just did both at the same time because when you’re reforming a law, why not do it thoroughly.

Back to Jamshid Sharmahd: Shiites do like their Martyrs, don’t they? We happen to have a vacant Mosque we could name after him.
