Iran Expels Swedish Diplomat in Retaliatory Move

Iran has expelled a Swedish diplomat, giving the official 48 hours to leave the country in what Tehran described as a retaliatory measure, according to a report by Al Jazeera.

Iranian authorities said the move came in response to actions by Sweden, which they characterized as bowing down to outside pressure. The report did not specify the exact nature of the pressure or the incident that prompted Sweden's original action.

Details about the identity of the expelled diplomat, the specific triggering event, and any response from Swedish officials were not included in the available report.

The expulsion adds to a history of diplomatic tension between Iran and Sweden, though the report did not provide further context on the current state of bilateral relations between the two countries.

Al Jazeera has not published additional details at this time, and further developments may follow as more information becomes available.
