The Hamburg state\u2019s Ministry of the Interior confirmed on August 29, 2024, that Mofatteh, aged 57, has been given until September 11 to leave the country or face deportation to Iran at his own expense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to a spokesperson for the Ministry, Mofatteh must depart Germany within 14 days or risk severe consequences, including a ban on re-entry and up to three years of imprisonment for non-compliance. The decision follows the recent prohibition of the Islamic Center of Hamburg, which German authorities have categorized as an extremist organization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">German media outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bild.de\/politik\/inland\/nach-izh-verbot-deutschland-wirft-hass-mullah-raus-66cdc7b4ec9b4b3e0cf8e921\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bild reported<\/a>, \u201cMofatteh is a well-trained representative of the current regime in Tehran.

The German Federal Ministry of the Interior described the center as a &#8220;significant propaganda hub for Iran in Europe,&#8221; which acts as a direct arm of the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader to disseminate aggressive and militant ideology.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> News: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/German?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#German<\/a> Outlet Exposes Iran\u2019s Regime Deep Ties with Hamburg Mosque<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5U52UNcYrw\">https:\/\/t.co\/5U52UNcYrw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/soQSM0wIfR\">pic.twitter.com\/soQSM0wIfR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1823034621656793264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hamburg\u2019s Interior Senator, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tagesschau.de\/inland\/regional\/hamburg\/islamisches-zentrum-hamburg-102.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andy Grote, emphasized<\/a> that Mofatteh\u2019s removal is part of a broader effort to counteract Islamic extremism linked to Tehran. He stated, &#8220;As the highest religious representative of the inhumane regime in Tehran, his time in Germany has come to an end. We will continue to fight Islamic extremism with all the tools of the Residence Act.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Germany\u2019s decisive actions have not gone unnoticed by Tehran.
