Iran summons Frances chargé d’affaires over interfering remarks by French FM

Following offensive remarks and unfounded allegations made by the French Foreign Minister against the Islamic Republic of Iran the French Chargé d’Affaires in Tehran was summoned by Mohammad Tanhaei Director for Division Second of Western Europe at Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to receive the Islamic Republic’s strong protest.

During the meeting, Tanhaei condemned the claims made by the French Foreign Minister as a blatant interference in the internal affairs of Iran, describing them as irresponsible and provocative. Tanhaei further demanded an official explanation from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the statements in question.

 

He also denounced the French government's exploitation of a cinematic event as a platform for advancing political objectives against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Tanhaei stressed that France, as one of the principal supporters of the Zionist regime and its continued egregious violations of human rights and humanitarian law—particularly with respect to the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination—lacks any moral authority to raise human rights claims or level accusations against others.
