In call with Macron, Iran’s Rouhani blames protests on France-based group
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian President Hassan Rouhani phones his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday to demand action against a “terrorist” Iranian opposition group he is accusing of fomenting recent protests.
“We criticize the fact that a terrorist group has a base in France and acts against the Iranian people… and we await action from the French government against this terrorist group,” Rouhani tells Macron, according to a report on Iranian state television.
He is referring to an exiled Iranian opposition group based in Paris and called the Mujahideen e-Khalk.
