A young French man who visited Iran has been missing for three weeks. This was reported to AFP by a French diplomatic source, who noted that the young man "was cycling." According to the source, this is a "concerning disappearance. We are in contact with the family. Our citizens are advised not to visit Iran, as Tehran implements a deliberate policy of taking Western hostages." According to the source, "Iran is looking for French citizens, accusing them of espionage and arresting them in horrific conditions. Those still in Iran are advised to leave the country immediately."
