Iran warns France against interference in internal affairs

The Iranian Intelligence Ministry on Saturday warned the French government against "illegal interference" in Iran's internal affairs.



In a statement on its website, the ministry said two French diplomats took part in a secret meeting in Tehran in July with suspects of a "major case involving foreign infiltration and interference."



Following an investigation, it said the diplomats had "extensive records of violations and behaviors in contradiction with Iran's domestic law and their diplomatic obligations."



The ministry stressed it will not allow foreign diplomats in Iran to engage in "illegal interventionist" actions, warning that any repeat of such conduct would draw "fitting" responses.
