The Swedish police announced in a statement that on Tuesday, January 23, five individuals illegally entered the premises of the Islamic Republic of Iran's embassy in the suburbs of Stockholm. According to the police, these individuals were removed from the premises after a while. A police spokesperson told the 'TT' news agency that it is still unclear whether any of them managed to enter the embassy building itself. This incident occurred amid heightened diplomatic tensions between Stockholm and Tehran due to the detention of several Swedish citizens in Iran. The Islamic Republic has also accused the Swedish court of unjustly sentencing Hamid Nouri, a former judicial official of the Islamic Republic, to life imprisonment on charges of participating in the mass execution and torture of political prisoners in the 1980s. Sweden rejects the Islamic Republic's claims, citing the independence of its judicial system. The Swedish Foreign Ministry has advised Swedish citizens not to travel to Iran under the current circumstances.
