Iran attacked Israel overnight from Saturday to Sunday, launching more than 300 drones and missiles in its direction. This attack, which was intended as a response to the deadly strikes on the Iranian consulate in Damascus that occurred at the beginning of April, was widely criticized by France and the United States, in particular.
French people living in Iran are asked to “temporarily leave” the country. The French embassy in Iran has opened a telephone response cell. The situation will continue to be evaluated regularly and, given the proliferation of rumors, it is recommended to only rely on information officially released by the French authorities, says the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is still relevant to ‘exercise caution when traveling, to keep themselves informed of current events and possible messages or instructions from the embassy in the coming days”, concludes the Ministry of foreign Affairs. The Quai d'Orsay invited the French to ’refrain’ from traveling to Iran, Israel, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories on Friday.
