On 20 September, the Iranian authorities closed the French Language Centre (CLF) in Tehran, claiming that the institution, linked to the French embassy, had carried out "illegal acts that violated diplomatic conventions" and "abused its status as a language training centre." واستدعت فرنسا السفير الإيراني إلى باريس لإجراء مشاورات ووعدت باستجابة مناسبة.
