Iran State TV airs footage of French couple accused of spying
6 October 2022; MEMO: Iranian State television aired a video, on Thursday, in which two French citizens detained for "spying" in Iran in May appeared to confess to acting on behalf of a French security service, amid weeks of unrest that Tehran has linked to foreign foes, Reuters reports.
France's Foreign Ministry accused Iran of the practices of the "worst dictatorial regimes" over the video confessions and categorically denied that the two were members of the French intelligence services.
