France to expel two Iranian diplomats in coming days, foreign minister says

France will expel two Iranian diplomats in the coming days, French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot says in a post on X.

Barrot’s comments came one day after Iran said two French embassy employees, who were involved in a diplomatic dispute in Tehran in July, would not be allowed to return to Iran.

Last month, the French ministry said the French embassy staff had been detained and physically intimidated by Iranian security services in Tehran.
