Iran International, the Iranian opposition news network reported that the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has admitted that Iran's terror plots across Europe and its involvement with criminal networks in Sweden are “deeply concerning.”
Speaking to Iran International, the ministry said the revelations of plots on Swedish soil and abroad using Swedish crime gangs are being taken "very seriously".
It follows recent reports from the Swedish Security Service (SÄPO), which revealed that Iran-backed terror plots aim to target Iranian dissidents in addition to Sweden's Jewish and Israeli community.
In January, an explosive device, said to be a hand grenade, was found inside the grounds of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm and destroyed by the Swedish national bomb squad. The suspects were found to be part of a gang known as Foxtrot, hired under the behest of Tehran, according to Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
