DUBAI - Iran's Foreign Ministry has summoned the French charge d'affaires over alleged insults against Islam's Prophet Mohammad, Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported on Tuesday .
The move came in reaction to remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron perceived to be critical of Islam that have also sparked responses in the Muslim world over France displaying images of the Prophet Mohammad that Muslims consider blasphemous. A foreign ministry official also said in a statement that the Gulf state condemns all acts of terrorism, in an apparent reference to the beheading of a teacher in Paris this month by an Islamist radical avenging the use of cartoons of the Prophet in a class on freedom of expression.
The images of the Prophet have sparked anger in the Muslim world with Turkey's leader calling for a boycott of French goods and Pakistan's parliament passing a resolution urging the government to recall its envoy from Paris.
