In response to escalating tensions in the Middle East, France has advised its citizens to avoid traveling to Iran, Lebanon, Israel, and the Palestinian territories. The warning comes after Iran threatened reprisals against Israel following a strike on its consulate in Syria. French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne also called for the evacuation of family members of French diplomats in Iran and advised against sending French civil servants on missions to the mentioned countries. The move aims to ensure the safety of French nationals amid rising concerns of potential violence in the region.
