Iran's Alleged Role in Embassy Attacks

Published: 2024-10-04

Recent attacks on Israeli embassies in Stockholm and Copenhagen have raised suspicions of Iranian involvement, according to Swedish Security Service (Säpo).

Shots were fired at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm, followed by explosions near the embassy in Copenhagen.

Two young Swedes have been detained in Denmark, with connections to the Foxtrot network, which is suspected of acting as a proxy for Iran.

While Swedish and Danish authorities are investigating, the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad has previously linked these networks to Iran.

The Swedish government is enhancing security measures and diplomatic efforts to address these threats, emphasizing the need for international cooperation.
