Cécile Kohler (R) and Jacqeus Paris were arrested on spying charges in Iran on May 7, 2022.

Two French spies arrested in Iran some four months ago have admitted to their attempts to provoke anti-government protests and riots with the ultimate goal of putting pressure on the country’s Islamic establishment.

The two French nationals, Cécile Kohler, 37, and Jacqeus Paris, 69, traveled to Iran on April 28 as tourists but turned out to be spies for the Western agencies.

In a video aired on Iran’s Arabic-language television news network al-Alam TV on Thursday, Kohler admitted to being an agent of the French General Directorate for External Security (DGSE), which is equivalent to the British MI6 and the American CIA.

In the recording, Kohler said she and her partner were in Iran with the main purpose of laying the groundwork for mass unrest in an attempt to trigger “a revolution” in the Islamic Republic and overthrow the Iranian government.

She explained that they brought in large sums of cash in order to fund riots and strikes, and purchase weaponry in an attempt to stir up chaos.

Kohler added that the weapons were meant to be used “to fight against the police,” if necessary.

According to the other spy, who was also shown in the video, the DGSE’s objective was to “put pressure on the Iranian government.”

Iran’s Intelligence Ministry announced in May that it had arrested the two French spies for attempting to stoke chaos and social disorder in the country during protests by teachers.

According to the ministry, the duo attempted to foment instability and social disorder when some teachers took to the streets in peaceful protests to demand fair wages and better working conditions.

Some photos show that the two were linked with teacher’s unionists including Rasoul Bodaghi.

Will they be exchanged for Hamed Nouri?

Also, Kohler sounds like a German surname.

No, Nouri is just a civilian, these two are professional spies.

There are Germans bearing French names, such as the descendants of Huguenot Protestant refugees who left France for present-day Germany during the religious wars of the Renaissance (a rather prominent example being the De Maizière's, including Germany's former Minister of the Interior), and vice versa.

France's northeastern regions of Alsace, Moselle and Lorraine bordering Germany and Luxembourg, have basically been home to Germanic peoples speaking local German languages (although the practice of these idioms has tended to decline over the past couple of centuries, and a number of migrants from other regions of France as well as foreign immigrants have settled in the area). Also French citizens of Ashkenazi Jewish backgrounds usually have Germanic surnames (the earliest Jewish community in France is Alsatian, and was joined later by Sephardi Jews from France's former colonies in Maghrebine North Africa).

In modern times, France experienced significant immigration waves earlier than other European (even if those initial migration waves into France mostly remained intra-European phenomena), one will also find quite a few 'white' locals in France with surnames of Italian, Polish, Portuguese and to a lesser extent Spanish origins.

The context is on the article. they are a fake couple, two agents for DGSE who organize violent protests in countries which stand against imperialist countries. The younger woman was supposed to take the place of the older guy. they provide weapons, money and training for their elements in the target countries.


They were working under the cover of teachers syndicate, have been active in many countries, including turkey, that's why we see Erdogan in the clip condemning the teachers union.

The interesting part is that they say in Ivory Coast they acted the opposite and prevented the protests cause it's government was an ally of French.

No, I wasn't sure, that's all.

To try and answer the question, the unification of modern Germany (under Prussian leadership with Otto von Bismarck as Chancellor) is pretty recent, since it only dates back to 1871.

In fact the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 ushered in Germany's unification and the proclamation of the German Empire ("Second Reich"), and that's when Berlin annexed Alsace-Lorraine, which French kings had previously taken from the Holy Roman Empire between the 16th and the 18th centuries AD. The Holy Roman Empire being the political entity which preceded the German Empire, and was in fact composed of a multitude of states, ranging from city-states to larger kingdoms.

The two sides' territorial claims over Alsace and Lorraine were of course a major factor of their antagonism during World Wars I and II.

Between the kingdom of France's expansion up to the river Rhine (16th-18th centuries) and the Franco-Prussian war (1870), Prussia and several other German states fought wars against the First French Empire led by Napoleon I. In 1806 Napoleon's armies defeated Prussia and established the Rhine Confederation, a client state over much of present-day German territory (east of the Rhine), but in 1813 Prussia and its Austrian, Russian, Swedish and local German allies came out victorious at the Battle of Leipzig and advanced all the way to Paris while dissolving the Confederation of the Rhine.

Although Alsace-Lorraine was not restored to the Holy German Empire, French occupation of Germany under Napoleon and the Battle of Leipzig largely fueled the genesis of modern German nationalism, whose aim was to integrate all German-speakers including those of Alsace and Lorraine into a unitary state.
