Swedish authorities have pointed fingers at Iran for allegedly being behind a series of text messages sent to individuals in Sweden, urging revenge for the burning of the Quran in 2023. The Swedish officials claim that Iran's Revolutionary Guard orchestrated a data breach that resulted in around 15,000 text messages being disseminated in Swedish.
A preliminary investigation conducted by Sweden's SAPO domestic security agency revealed that the Iranian state, through the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was responsible for breaching a Swedish company that operates a major SMS service. The company's name was not disclosed, and there has been no immediate response from Iranian authorities regarding the accusations.
