The statement of the embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in response to the baseless allegations

The statement of the embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Kingdom of Sweden in response to the baseless allegations circulated in some of Swedish media outlest

The Islamic Republic of Iran rejects the unfounded allegations. The dissemination of such claims appears to be part of a broader campaign of Iranophobia across Europe, particularly in Sweden. This campaign is triggered by some third parties to undermine bilateral relations and discredit the Islamic Republic of Iran in the global sphere.

It is evident that some third parties, that stand to benefit from the erosion of relations between Iran and Europe, play a significant role in propagating these baseless accusations.

Moreover, the spread of such disinformation serves to divert public attention from the daily atrocities committed by the Israeli regime and its supporters in their ongoing campaign of genocide against the people of Gaza.

These narratives seek to reframe the aggressor as a victim and to justify Israel and the United States' recent illegal attacks against the honorable and proud nation of Iran.

It must be emphasized that the party which initiated an assault on diplomatic premises was, in fact, Israel through its military attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus. This blatant violation of international law received almost no media scrutiny and was met with silence by the media outlets that are otherwise quick to circulate anti-Iran narratives.

The Islamic Republic of Iran remains committed to constructive engagement and stands ready to cooperate in good faith with Sweden and other European nations to uphold mutual security.
