The Iranian embassy in Paris condemns France for an "interfering stance" in recent presidential elections after Paris expressed concerns about the crucial vote, Press TV reported.
Following the disputed presidential election, Tehran's ambassador to Paris, Mehdi Miraboutalebi, was summoned to the French Foreign Ministry to hear France's concerns.
The Iranian Embassy in Paris responded to the claims in a statement to the French government.
"The organization of elections is part of the sovereignty and jurisdiction of any country," read the statement. "Any form of irresponsible statements or interference by French authorities is an insult to the voting rights of the Iranian people and is strongly condemned."
More than 32 million people, 83 percent of eligible voters, cast their votes in the country's 10th presidential election. Iranians took part in a competitive and democratic election which saw President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad re-elected with more than 63 percent of the votes cast.
The Iranian embassy added that the country has good experience in elections, while recalling unpleasant events that occurred after the French presidential elections in 2007.
In May 2007, thousands of youth took to the streets after the final presidential election results showed Nicolas Sarkozy to be the winner. Riots erupted in several urban centers including the capital.
Nearly 700 cars were torched, according to the French police, and government buildings and properties came under attack.
