Sweden suspects Iran may be involved in the explosions against the Israeli embassy
The Swedish Security Service says Iran might have played a role in this week’s attacks near the Israeli embassies in Copenhagen and Stockholm.
These two separate attacks, which occurred on Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning near the Israeli embassies in Sweden and Denmark, have drawn attention due to their timing with Iran’s attacks on Israel and escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Fredrik Halstrom, the operations director of the Swedish Security Service, responded to journalists’ questions about Iran’s possible role in the Stockholm and Copenhagen attacks, saying there are factors like the type of targets and modus operandi that suggest this possibility, but it is more of a hypothesis than knowledge and information.
A few months ago, the Swedish Security Service also accused the Iranian government of hiring criminal groups to carry out violent acts against Israel, an accusation that Iran denies.
