Macron slams charges against French citizens detained in Iran, says not ruling out retaliatory moves

French President Emmanuel Macron calls the accusations against two French citizens held in Iran unacceptable and says he hasn’t ruled out taking retaliatory measures.

Agence France Presse reported late on Wednesday that Iran had charged Cecile Kohler and her partner, Jacques Paris, with spying for Israel’s Mossad intelligence service. France has said the couple is being held arbitrarily and labeled the conditions they have been kept in as akin to torture.
