Iranian diplomacy has been outraged by a campaign by the town of Béziers in the south of France. The controversial mayor, Robert Ménard, warned citizens to sort the waste. And he chose the face of Iran's supreme spiritual leader Ali Khamenei, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and North Korea's ruler Kim Jong-un as an illustration picture. Tehran has also turned on the government in Paris over posters on buses.

Íránskou diplomacii pobouřila kampaň města Béziers na jihu Francie. Tamní kontroverzní starosta Robert Ménard upozornil občany, aby třídili odpad. A jako ilustrační obrázek si vybral tvář íránského nejvyššího duchovního vůdce Alího Chameneího, ruského diktátora Vladimira Putina a vládce Severní Koreje Kim Čong-una. Teherán se kvůli plakátům na autobusech obrátil i na vládu v Paříži.

Sort the waste, exhorts a poster in France featuring Khamenei. Iran is offended

"Don't forget to separate your garbage," this slogan was emblazoned on buses in Béziers, France, with Kim, Putin and Khamenei in the picture. The country's foreign ministry, however, did not find this funny.

»Vergesst nicht, den Müll zu trennen«, dieser Spruch prangte auf Bussen im französischen Béziers, dazu im Bild: Kim, Putin, Khamenei. Das Außenministerium des Landes fand das allerdings nicht witzig.
