Germany issued an order

The Ministry of the Interior of the city and state of Hamburg said in a statement that it had informed Mofatteh that he had deadline until September 11 to leave or he would be deported, reports Reuters.

Mofatteh has been at the head of the Islamic Center since the summer of 2018, it is specified in the announcement.

According to the knowledge of the German authorities, he was the official representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Germany, as until recently the head of the IZH.

In July, Germany's Federal Ministry of the Interior banned the work of the Islamic Center Hamburg (IZH) association, which is close to Iran and manages the Blue Mosque, the oldest in Germany.

The ministry announced that the association violated the constitutional order of the Federal Republic of Germany and incited anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli hatred.

Representatives of that organization, as reported, have in the past glorified the violent acts of terrorist organizations such as the Palestinian Hamas and supported terrorist organizations such as the Lebanese Hezbollah.

After the closure of IZH, Iran lodged a protest with the German ambassador in Tehran.
