After the closure of the French Research Institute in Iran, several dozen people demonstrated and burned tricolor flags on January 8, 2023 in front of the French Embassy in Tehran.

It is also a new sign of the growing tension in relations. Analysis by Jean-François Bayart, professor of political sociology at the IHEID.
