The French foreign ministry has advised French citizens against travelling to Iran, Lebanon, Israel and the Palestinian territories amid Iran's threats against its regional adversary.
Iran has threatened reprisals against Israel over a strike on the Iranian consulate in Syria on 1 April that killed seven Revolutionary Guards including two generals, sparking fears of an escalation of violence in the Middle East.
Iran has vowed retaliation over the strike in Syria and Israel warned of retaliation to any strike against it.
France's Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne at a crisis meeting also asked that family members of French diplomats in Iran be evacuated, and no French civil servants be sent on missions to the listed countries.
The United States has also restricted the movements of its diplomats in Israel over security fears.
