Prince Reza Pahlavi's Office Welcomes Sweden's Expulsion of an Islamic Republic Diplomat, September 18, 2026

The Swedish government’s decision to expel an official from the Islamic Republic’s embassy is a decisive and necessary act in defence of Sweden’s citizens, sovereignty and national security.

Tehran’s immediate retaliation does not weaken the case for Sweden’s action, it proves it. The regime has long relied on intimidation and escalation whenever its impunity is challenged.

Sweden has now made clear that threats against its citizens and interests will carry consequences. Other European governments should follow its lead, stand together and confront the Islamic Republic’s hostile activities with equal resolve.

The Iranian people will remember those who stood firm against a regime that threatens them, and democratic nations alike.
