France seizes assets belonging to two Iranian men and Iran's ministry of security and intelligence

France announced Tuesday that it had frozen assets belonging to two Iranian men and Iran's ministry of security and intelligence.

The decree announcing the asset freezes, published in the government gazette, identified one of the men as Assadollah Asadi, the same name as an Iranian diplomat who has been arrested over an alleged plot to bomb an Iranian opposition group in France in June.
