France Summons Iranian Ambassador Over Language Center Dispute
France summoned the Iranian ambassador in response to the closure of its language training center in Tehran, a move that has increased tensions between the two countries on the eve of their foreign ministers' meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the closure came after the center's refusal to obtain a license and allegations that it was involved in activities threatening national security. France denied any deeper involvement and emphasized that it faces ongoing harassment targeting its cultural presence in Iran. This escalation follows France’s condemnation of Mahsa Amini’s death and its support for movements advocating dignity and women's rights, amidst ongoing tensions related to Iran’s nuclear program and the detention of French citizens in Iran.
