France announced Tuesday it will expel Iranian diplomats in response to Iran declaring two French diplomats “persona non grata.” Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot revealed the decision on X, formerly Twitter, during an interview with the French daily *La Montagne*. This reciprocal action follows Tehran’s earlier move, escalating tensions between the two nations. Barrot did not specify the number of Iranian diplomats affected, but stated the expulsion would occur within the coming days. The move signals France’s firm stance against perceived interference or actions violating diplomatic norms. This exchange highlights a deterioration in diplomatic relations between Paris and Tehran. Further details regarding the specific reasons for Iran’s initial decision were not immediately available.
