Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has publicly challenged French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of maintaining inconsistent standards regarding civil unrest. Baqaei contrasted Macron's previous support for demonstrators in Iran with his current firm stance against vandalism and attacks on public institutions within France. The spokesperson highlighted a perceived contradiction in how the French government handles domestic protests compared to its past rhetoric concerning Iran. Furthermore, Baqaei referenced a prior communication between Macron and U.S. President Donald Trump, suggesting that France has been complicit in regional aggression against Iran. Warning that political alliances can have unforeseen consequences, Baqaei cautioned that the current instability in France and the United States reflects a broader trend. He concluded his critique by invoking a literary reference to suggest that deceptive political strategies often result in negative repercussions for their original architects.
