Israeli strike on Tehran’s Evin prison unacceptable, France says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrance’s foreign minister accuses Israel of putting two of its citizens in danger after an airstrike hit an entrance to Tehran’s Evin prison, adding that all strikes have to stop immediately to open the door to renewed diplomacy.
Israel struck Tehran’s most notorious jail for political prisoners, but also where a number of foreign nationals are held, in a potent demonstration that it was expanding its targets beyond military and nuclear sites to aim squarely at the pillars of Iran’s ruling system.
“The strike targeting Evin prison in Tehran, put our citizens Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris, who have been held for three years, in danger. It is unacceptable,” Jean-Noel Barrot says on social media platform X.
