According to a report by Reuters on September 20, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 20th that after the Iranian authorities seize a French-speaking center located in Tehran and belonging to the French Embassy, France will summon Iran's ambassador to France and take appropriate countermeasures. According to the report, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Pascal Confafle said in a statement: “Following the attack on two French embassy staff in July last year, this new attack on French cultural institutions in Iran is unjustifiable and unacceptable.” Relations between the two countries have been tense over the years due to Iran's nuclear program and Tehran's detention of several French citizens.
