France Summons Iranian Ambassador Over Claims About Student Protests

France summoned Iran’s ambassador in Paris on Wednesday to protest what it described as a disinformation campaign by Iranian authorities concerning high school student protests in France.

The French objection focused on Tehran’s portrayal of the student movement. Paris accused Iranian authorities of spreading misleading information about the protests.

The diplomatic summons brought that complaint directly to Iran’s representative in France. No specific Iranian statements or claims were identified in the brief account of the move.

The account did not provide further details about the student protests or indicate how the Iranian ambassador responded to France’s complaint.
