Iran will bar two French embassy employees from reentering the country
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said two employees of the French Embassy in Tehran will not be allowed to reenter Iran after leaving the country. The ministry accused them of supporting civil society and violating the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and summoned France’s ambassador to Tehran to deliver an official protest.
Iran has decided to bar two employees of the French Embassy in Tehran from reentering the country after they leave. Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the decision had been formally conveyed to the French side.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei said at a weekly press conference that the two employees were accused of “supporting civil society and violating the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.”
Tehran raises objection under diplomatic law
Baghaei claimed that France had identified the two individuals not as “diplomats” but as “embassy employees” and had openly acknowledged that they supported civil society in Iran.
The Iranian spokesman argued that this approach was unusual from the standpoint of diplomatic law. Baghaei said the stance amounted to an explicit acknowledgment that the Vienna Convention had been violated.
Official protest delivered to French ambassador
Baghaei said Iran’s Foreign Ministry had taken the necessary diplomatic steps in connection with the incident. As part of those steps, France’s ambassador to Tehran was summoned to the ministry, where Iran’s official protest was delivered to him.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said the French side had been formally informed, after the two employees left the country, that they would not be allowed to reenter Iran.
