French ambassador returns to Iran

France's ambassador to Iran has returned to Tehran after being recalled at the end of last year in response to protesters entering the British embassy in the Iranian capital, Reuters quoted a French foreign ministry official as saying on Monday.

France recalled Ambassador Bruno Foucher for consultations after a number of Iranian students, who had participated in a demonstration in front of the British Embassy in Tehran on November 29, 2011, entered the embassy compound and pulled down the Union Jack, Mehr reported.
