France Tells Diplomats Not to Travel to Iran France has told all of its diplomats and foreign ministry officials to indefinitely postpone all non-essential travel to Iran, because of the Iranian Regime\u2019s attempted bombing on a resistance gathering in Paris in June and increased Iranian aggression against France, in a memo seen by Reuters. The memo said that the terrorist attack, which was thankfully foiled by the European authorities before anyone got hurt, was a sign of Iran\u2019s increased aggression towards France. Iran Regime\u2019s Khamenei says Europe cannot save nuclear deal, help economy Iran Regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday cast doubt on the ability of European countries to save Iran\u2019s 2015 nuclear accord with world powers, now under threat following a US withdrawal, and said Tehran might abandon the agreement. Khamenei cautioned President Hassan Rouhani not to rely too much on European support as he came under increased pressure at home over his handling of the economy in the face of US sanctions, with key ministers under attack by parliament.

They reported seeing signs of torture on his body. Their subsequent inquiries into his current status and the reason behind his arrest have been left unanswered by Oshnavieh\u2019s Judiciary and the IRGC Intelligence Office.
