Al Jazeera wrote that Iran’s foreign ministry told a Swedish diplomat in Tehran to exit in two days after Stockholm on Wednesday sent an Iranian embassy worker home. Tehran called the Swedish step unjustified. Stockholm pointed to conduct it said sat under the Vienna Convention. The retained dispatch is that Al Jazeera page. No second publisher is on this card.[1]
A summoned ambassador
The ministry said Yousefi, who heads the Western Europe desk, called in the Swedish ambassador on Thursday. A ministry line published by IRNA blamed Israel. Al Jazeera recorded that blame as an unverified claim. Yousefi’s title and the Thursday summons sit on the same retained page.[1]
Stockholm's security line
Al Jazeera quoted Justice Minister Strommer saying Iran has for years posed a security threat to dissidents in Sweden and to Jewish and Israeli interests. That is Stockholm’s stated ground, not a finding tested elsewhere in the same dispatch. The exhausted corroboration note remains on the card.[1]
