The Iran Pot Calling the French Kettle, Black!

Iran has warned its citizens against travelling to France, because of what it says is a "serious level" of unrest in the country. The Iranian foreign ministry said France was a country in crisis following recent protests against the government's pensions reforms. Official news agency IRNA quoted an Iranian foreign ministry spokesman yesterday as saying: "We think the crisis in France has reached a serious level, and we advise all our nationals who plan to travel to this country to take necessary precautions. Not that many can travel anyway.

"Our compatriots have been informed of the travel warning via the Foreign Ministry website and the Iranian Embassy in Paris." The warning came hours after France and the UK called on all countries to follow the EU's lead by implementing "stringent, targeted sanctions" against Iran.
