Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasizes that Iran will under no circumstances compromise the security of its people.
The top diplomat made the remarks in a telephone call with his Swedish counterpart Maria Malmer Stenergard on Wednesday.
During the conversation, Araghchi condemned Sweden’s “regrettable support” for an individual convicted of spying for the Israeli regime against the Islamic Republic.
He was commenting on Stockholm’s earlier supportive remarks concerning Koorosh Keivani, an agent of the Israeli spy agency Mossad, who had sent photos and videos of important security locations from inside Iran to the regime, and was executed earlier this month after completion of due legal procedures.
Keivani was arrested by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s Intelligence Organization last June, when the regime and the United States waged a 12-day unprovoked war against Iran.
He had been recruited in Sweden in 2023 by a Mossad agent going by the name of “Ben,” who could speak Farsi.
News about his execution emerged amid the Zionist regime’s and the United States’ latest bout of unlawful aggression towards the Islamic Republic.
The aggression has prompted at least 63 waves of decisive retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic Israeli and American targets throughout the region.
It has also led to considerable increase in alertness among the Islamic Republic’s intelligence apparatuses regarding espionage and sabotage efforts, besides prompting unprecedented popular contribution to the apparatuses’ operations aimed at foiling subversive attempts.
