**Iran Calls French Diplomat Over Comments on Palme d’Or Film: “We Demand a Remake!”**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the world scratching its head, Iran has officially summoned the French diplomat over comments made regarding the recent Palme d’Or-winning film, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Pigeon.” The film, which features a pigeon navigating the complexities of modern life, has apparently ruffled more than just a few feathers in Tehran.
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Javad “Not That Javad” Zarif, stated in a press conference, “We are deeply offended by the French diplomat’s assertion that pigeons are merely flying rats. We demand a remake of this film, starring our national bird, the majestic Persian pigeon, who can definitely act better than any French pigeon!”
The French diplomat, Pierre “Not a Croissant” Dupont, responded with a bemused chuckle, saying, “I didn’t realize pigeons had such a strong following in Iran. Perhaps we should cast them in the next ‘Mission: Impossible’ film. Tom Cruise could use a sidekick!”
In a bizarre twist, Iranian officials have proposed a new film titled “The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Persian Cat,” which they claim will showcase the true essence of feline diplomacy. “Cats are the ultimate negotiators,” said Zarif. “They can ignore you for hours and still get fed. That’s a skill we can all learn from.”
Meanwhile, social media has erupted with hashtags like #PigeonGate and #CatDiplomacy, as citizens from both countries weigh in on the feathered fiasco. One Twitter user, @PigeonWhisperer, tweeted, “If we can’t settle this over a film, can we at least agree on a pigeon-themed café? I hear they make a mean croissant!”
As the diplomatic standoff continues, one thing is clear: the world is watching, and it’s not just for the pigeons.
