Iran expels a Swedish diplomat after Sweden expels an Iranian embassy official in Stockholm. Iran’s foreign ministry says the Swedish ambassador is summoned in Tehran to protest the decision, which it calls “unjustified and contrary to international law.” Iran orders a Swedish diplomat to leave, describing it as part of a dispute following actions taken by Sweden.
The sequence of measures is presented by both outlets as a tit-for-tat exchange. Euronews reports that Tehran summons Sweden’s ambassador and requires one of its diplomats to leave within 48 hours. It also says Sweden expelled an Iranian embassy official for activities “incompatible with the Vienna Convention.” NDTV focuses on Iran’s formal protest and the wording used by Iran’s foreign ministry. Both accounts frame the incident as a diplomatic fallout tied to alleged violations of international diplomatic rules.
Neither source provides details on the specific allegations beyond references to Vienna Convention compatibility and unspecified activities.
