France has recalled its ambassador to Tehran for "consultations," following the storming of Britain's embassy in Tehran Tuesday, the French Foreign Ministry said Wednesday, dpa reported.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said in a statement that the ambassador, Bruno Foucher, had been recalled over Iran's "flagrant and unacceptable" violation of the Vienna Convention.
The ministry had also summoned the Iranian charge d'affaires in Paris Wednesday to "reiterate France's condemnation" of Tuesday's attack and remind Iran of its responsibilities to protect foreign missions.
