France Reducing Embassy Staff in Tehran

France is temporarily decreasing its staff in Iran after a British embassy was attacked. The reason why they are doing this is for "security purposes." 25 Iranian diplomats and embassy employees arrived in Tehran Saturday morning after Iran was ordered to close its embassy in London. Relations between the countries have been strained in recent days after the United Kingdom levied new sanctions on Iran. The sanctions prompted the attack on the British Embassy.
