On Tuesday, Iran summoned the French ambassador to Tehran, Pierre Cochard, to formally protest the French government's handling of ongoing school protests. State media reported that the summons was prompted by Paris's violent treatment of demonstrators who had taken to the streets to demand better conditions in schools.

The diplomatic move follows days of clashes between French police and student demonstrators. By summoning the envoy, Tehran directly criticized the French authorities' response to the domestic unrest, highlighting tensions over policing and civil protest methods between the two nations.
