Non-essential French embassy staff have left Iran — sources

Non-essential French embassy staff have left Iran, two sources with knowledge of the matter tell AFP, as the Islamic Republic’s authorities crack down on protests in the country.

The personnel left on Sunday and Monday, the sources add, without saying how many people departed.

The embassy in Tehran usually counts around 30 expatriate employees, as well as a few dozen local staff members.
