Two French diplomats stationed in Iran were subjected to a severe act of intimidation by Iranian security services on Sunday, according to French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot. The officials were detained and questioned for several hours, representing a significant breach of diplomatic protocol. Disturbingly, one of the diplomats reportedly experienced physical abuse during their detention. The French government has strongly condemned the incident, characterizing it as “extremely serious.” This event raises concerns about the safety of foreign diplomats operating within Iran and the state of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Further details are expected as the French government investigates the situation and seeks clarification from Iranian authorities.
