Iran has summoned the French ambassador in Tehran to protest the detention of two French diplomats and accuse France of interfering in its internal affairs, according to official statements. The move comes after the diplomats were briefly detained earlier this month, an incident that Iran claims was part of a broader pattern of Western interference. The Iranian foreign ministry emphasized that France must stop such actions under misleading labels, according to a ministry spokesman.
The French embassy in Tehran was called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where officials stressed the need for France to cease interfering in Iran’s internal matters. This follows a broader diplomatic tension between Iran and Western nations, with Iran recently criticizing the United States for its involvement in conflicts it initiated.
The incident highlights ongoing diplomatic friction between Iran and France, with Iran accusing the latter of using diplomatic channels to exert pressure. The French government has not yet issued a formal response to the summons, but the situation underscores the complex relationship between the two countries. (arabnews.pk)
