imprisoned in Evin Prison since 2022 on charges of espionage, had been staying at the French embassy in Tehran since November.
They were allowed to leave Iran on Tuesday. This surprising move came as France was trying to keep itself away from Middle Eastern conflicts. The two arrived in Paris on Wednesday morning. Macron, after meeting and embracing them at the Élysée Palace, wrote on X: "We are very happy to have brought Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris back to France after three and a half years of hardship in Iran. This is a great relief for all of us."
Actually, France voted against approval of use of force against Iran in the UN. This was followed by permission from Iran to pass one ship per day through the strait of Hormuz to France. The release of these two is just a footnote on this friendship growing between France and Iran. Funny how this isn't discussed in the news more. It is important - and virtually nobody seems to know about it.
Backstabbing cretins. It’s amazing to think this country once ruled a huge portion of the White Civilised World.
