Iran criticizes France over missile program stance
Iran's ballistic missile capacity and position "worries us enormously", Le Drian said last week at a news conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Defensive program is one of the basic rights of any nation, including Iran, Ali Akbar Velayati told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting with the visiting Japanese Deputy Foreign Minister Takeo Mori.
Le Drian on Monday delivered a message to Tehran that Europe wanted to keep alive the accord that eased economic sanctions in return for curbs to its nuclear program, while echoing USA concerns about Iran's missile program and role in regional wars.
The cultural domain offers a chance to focus on the positive re-engagement between France and Iran, which has also been seen in a number of trade and investment deals involving carmakers Peugeot and Renault as well as energy giant Total since the 2015 nuclear accord.
This one-day trip is also seen as evidence of the balancing act that France and other European nations find themselves in, following Donald Trump's promise to withdraw the USA from the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal if major flaws aren't fixed.
"In the tumultuous ocean of global relations, cultural diplomacy is a flare that we should maintain together", said French Foreign Minister Yves Le Drian, who was visiting Tehran on March 5 to open the exhibit and hold talks on missiles and other geopolitical matters.

Spotify is cracking down on modded versions of its Android app
The notice also warns that continued detection of the activity could result in the account being suspending or terminated. The unauthorized apps allow users to skip ads and usage limitations and instead use Spotify at its premium functionality.
That continued with Iran's armed forces spokesman, Gen. Masoud Jazayeri, who this weekend said over the weekend that Tehran would only give up its missiles when the West abandons nuclear arms.
Le Drian first met Monday with Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
Macron praised the demonstrations as "the free expression of the Iranian people", but did not match President Donald Trump's full-throated encouragement of them.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday urged Iran to put "necessary pressure" on the Syrian government to halt military actions in the rebel-held enclave of Eastern Ghouta.
Iran's defense program is not the business of any country including France, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader said here on Saturday.
During his visit, Le Drian also inaugurated an exhibition called "The Louvre in Tehran" at the Iranian National Museum.
