| [IsraelTimes] Iranian authorities have released French citizen Olivier Grondeau, detained by the country since October 2022 on security charges, and he has returned to France, President Emmanuel Macron announces. Grondeau, 34, “is free and with his loved ones”, Macron writes on X, adding that “our mobilization will not weaken” to ensure the release of French citizens Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris, who still detained by Iran. Paris says it views the arrests as state hostage-taking. Because it is. Macron does not say what, if anything, France gave Iran in return for Grondeau’s release. |
