Sweden expels Iranian embassy official over activity incompatible with Vienna Convention

The Swedish government has announced the expulsion of an Iranian embassy official due to activities deemed incompatible with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. This decision follows reports alleging that the Islamic Republic has utilized criminal gangs within Sweden to target Israeli and Jewish interests. In April, CNN reported that Iranian security services were allegedly employing criminal networks to advance their objectives on Swedish soil. While Swedish authorities have not disclosed the identity of the individual or specific details regarding the nature of the activities, they emphasized that the action was taken in accordance with established diplomatic standards.
