Summoning the ambassador of Sweden to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran

Following the renewed desecration of the Holy Qur'an in Sweden, the country's ambassador in Tehran was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by Nasser Kanani tonight, and the Islamic Republic of Iran's strong protest was communicated to him.

Sweden is responsible for the consequences of inciting Muslim sentiments

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said to the Swedish ambassador: "We strongly condemn the repeated desecration of the Holy Quran and Islamic holy things in Sweden, and we hold the Swedish government fully responsible for the consequences of inciting the feelings of Muslims around the world."

On Wednesday (July 28), the Swedish police announced the issuance of a permit to hold a protest rally outside the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm, and some media reported that the organizers of this protest rally intend to burn the Muslim holy books again. This action was done for the second time by this Iraqi-Swedish citizen today. After that, the Iraqi government, while holding an emergency meeting regarding the renewed desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden, called its ambassador from Stockholm and asked the Swedish ambassador to leave Baghdad.
