Iran Boycotts Sweden After Quran Burning Incident

Iran has refused to send a new ambassador to Sweden after a protester burned a Quran outside a mosque in Stockholm. The Iranian foreign minister blamed the Swedish government for granting the protest permit and stated that the process of dispatching a new ambassador has been held off. Iraq has also asked Sweden to extradite the man responsible for the Quran burning, arguing that he should face trial in Baghdad. The incident has led to protests and the raiding of the Swedish embassy in Iraq. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has called for member states to take unified measures to stop Quran burnings, and several countries have recalled their ambassadors to Stockholm.
