BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 13. Iran has issued a
protest note to French Ambassador to Iran Nicolas Roche over
France’s double standards on terrorism, Iran’s Foreign Ministry
spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said at today’s press conference held
in Tehran, Trend
reports.
Baghaei mentioned that on the previous day, the French
ambassador was summoned to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During the meeting, the ambassador was warned about France’s
hosting of terrorist groups, emphasizing that such actions
contradict legal obligations under the United Nations (UN)
framework. He added that dividing terrorism into “good” and “bad”
categories leads to the spread of lawlessness globally.
In his comments, Baghaei also responded to remarks by French
President Emmanuel Macron regarding Iran, stating that Iran had
reacted to France’s stance. He expressed hope that France would
extricate itself from this conflicting position and adopt a more
constructive approach towards regional processes.
Furthermore, the Iranian Foreign Ministry official stated that
France’s allegations about Iran’s nuclear program were baseless, as
these claims have been repeatedly made without legal foundation for
over two decades.
“You will never find any evidence of Iran having a colonial
history in Africa,” he added.
