The French Foreign Ministry confirmed that the ambassador was summoned on Tuesday, saying the meeting had taken place earlier in the morning at the Quai d’Orsay, France’s foreign ministry headquarters in Paris.
"The summoning of the Iranian ambassador, announced by the minister yesterday, took place this morning," the ministry said in a statement.

The diplomatic move comes amid growing tensions between Paris and Tehran over alleged cyber activities. However, the French statement did not provide further details about the incidents or the evidence behind the accusations.
