"Upon the conclusion of the Swedish envoy's tenure in Tehran, we will refrain from receiving his successor until there is a decisive action from the Swedish government against the offender who disrespected Quran," Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said on Friday in an interview with the country's public broadcaster.
Earlier, Iran had summoned the Swedish Ambassador Matthias Lentz to protest the repeated desecration of Islam's holy book and to hold the Swedish government accountable for offending the feelings of Muslims around the world, according to Iran's official news agency IRNA. "We strongly condemn the repeated desecration of the Holy Quran and Islamic sanctities in Sweden, and we hold the Swedish government fully responsible for the consequences of inciting the feelings of Muslims around the world."
