Tehran:  Iran Sunday summoned Germany's charge d'affaires over "unacceptable" remarks by German officials after the killing of a top general in a US strike, the foreign ministry said.

In the aftermath of Friday's US drone strike that killed General Qasem Soleimani, some German officials made "wrong, thoughtless and damaging remarks in support of America's terrorist attack in Iraq", said the ministry in a statement.
