France Accuses Iran of Violence

According to this BBC news article, France has accused Iran of perpetrating violent acts on French diplomats at the French embassy in Tehran. Officials say that the entrance to the embassy was blocked by unidentified officials on Sunday and arrested guests of the embassy. The arrest took place as many guests gathered at the embassy to partake in a celebration of traditional Persian music. 130 guests were invited to the party and about two-thirds were blocked from entry. France and Iran have been at ends after France took a hard stance on Iran's nuclear program and the news came hours after Iran charged two Germans with spying after they interviewed the son of the woman sentenced to stoning within Iran. Tensions seem to be very high and things are uneasy right now between the Western world and Iran.
