The French foreign ministry summoned the Iranian charge d'affaires on Tuesday, two days after French embassy staff were detained and physically intimidated by Iranian security services in Tehran.

"France expects the Iranian authorities to shed light on this incident, punish the perpetrators, and ensure the security of its premises and personnel, in accordance with their international obligations," the ministry said.

Two employees detained, harassed

According to French authorities, two employees of France's embassy in Tehran were aggressively harassed and detained by Iranian security forces on Sunday.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot confirmed the incident, saying that both staff members were detained and interrogated for several hours without reason, with one being physically assaulted in the process.

According to Barrot, the employees were eventually allowed to return to the French embassy and are safe, but will be returning to France in the coming hours.

"I informed the Iranian Foreign Minister that this extremely serious and unacceptable violation of the integrity of our agents cannot go without consequences," Barrot stated.

He decried the incident as shocking and a flagrant violation of diplomatic immunities and privileges afforded to embassy staff.
