Iran has barred two French embassy employees from returning to the country, according to a statement from Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei. The spokesman said the two individuals had violated the Vienna Convention, which governs diplomatic relations and privileges.
The announcement comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran and Western nations, particularly over Iran's nuclear program and its support for regional proxies. France has been among the countries critical of Iran's actions.
Baghaei did not provide specific details about the alleged violations or the identities of the employees. The French government has not yet publicly responded to the move.
This incident is likely to further strain diplomatic relations between Tehran and Paris, which have already been tense due to disagreements on various international issues.
