| My colleague Saeed Kamali Dehghan sends more on the reaction in Iran: | |
| Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, has cancelled his official visit to France, due to take place next week, in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris. | |
| In a letter to his French counterpart, Rouhani strongly denounced the attacks as a “crime against humanity” and expressed condolences with the French people. | |
| He was due in Rome on Saturday and then Paris next week on a major European visit, the first such trip by an Iranian president in a decade. He called off both visits in the early hours of Saturday, according to the Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, the country’s state news agency reported. | |
| Rouhani’s visits were aimed at reviving Iran’s global image and rebuilding economic ties following the landmark nuclear agreement in July. Under that accord, Tehran agreed to roll back its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions, including an end to the EU embargo on imports of Iranian oil. | |
| It was meant to be Rouhani’s first official visit to Europe and also the first to the continent by an Iranian head of government since 1999, when the former reformist president, Mohammad Khatami, made similar trips to Paris and Rome. | |
| Rouhani particularly wanted to present his country as a key regional player with an influential role in determining the fate of Syria, according to Ali-Akbar Mousavi Khoini, a former reformist Iranian MP. | |

| The map below shows the location of the six separate attacks – five of them in close proximity in the 10th and 11th arrondissements – in Paris on Friday evening. | |
| The sixth took place at the Stade de France, where the French national team was playing Germany in a friendly football match. President François Hollande was at the stadium when two suicide bombs were detonated outside. | |
| Officials now say 87 people are thought to have been killed at the Bataclan concert venue, the highest death toll of all the sites. | |
| Casualty figures are being frequently revised as new information comes to light. At present, we understand that around 200 people are injured, 80 of them seriously, on top of the (at least) 120 people who have been killed. | |

| How to contact friends and family in Paris | |
| The French government has set up a site to gather witness statements and report missing people. It is currently slow to load, presumably because of the weight of traffic. | |
