The Swedish intelligence agency, SAPO, announced on Thursday, October 4, that the Islamic Republic of Iran may be involved in the explosions and shootings this week around the Israeli embassies in Sweden and Denmark. According to AFP, Danish police arrested three Swedish citizens on Wednesday after two explosions, likely caused by grenades, near the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. The Israeli embassy in Stockholm was also targeted by gunfire on Tuesday. The head of operations at the Swedish intelligence agency, Fredrik Hallström, in response to a question about the possibility of Iranian involvement in the shootings and explosions around the Israeli embassies stated, 'Some evidence may point in that direction.' He emphasized that this is currently a hypothesis and does not mean certainty. Last May, SAPO announced that the Islamic Republic was recruiting members of Swedish criminal gangs to carry out 'violent actions' against Israeli interests and other interests in Sweden; a claim that the Islamic Republic of Iran has denied. On Wednesday, Swedish television SVT reported that it had received information indicating that the recent attacks on the Israeli embassies were carried out by the Swedish criminal network 'Foxtrot' at the request of the Islamic Republic. In Denmark, two of the arrested Swedes are 16 and 19 years old. The Copenhagen police announced that the third person, who was arrested near the crime scene, has been released. Israel reported an attack on the Hezbollah intelligence headquarters in Beirut and the killing of 'Mohammad Youssef Anisi.' The consequences of the IRGC's missile attack on Israel: the likelihood of revoking the hosting of football matches from Iran has increased. Sweden accused the Iranian government of hacking the messaging service following the Quran burning incident. The National Council of Resistance claims that 'agents' of the Islamic Republic attacked the supporters' association of the Mojahedin in Sweden.
