France urges compatriots to leave Iran immediately
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday, August 2, called on fellow citizens who may still be in Iran to leave the country "as soon as possible" due to the increased risk of military escalation between Israel and Tehran.
This was reported by Yevropeiska Pravda.
The French Foreign Ministry in its recommendations for traveling to Iran reminded that the whole country is in the "red" zone.
"Therefore, French citizens are officially advised to refrain from traveling to Iran for any reason," it added, urging their compatriots to "stay away from any demonstrations."
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not specify the number of French people who may be affected by this recommendation.
This week, it became known that Ismail Ghaniyeh, the political leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, was assassinated in Tehran. Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah accused Israel of the murder.
