Iraq Threatens to Cut Diplomatic Ties with Sweden
The Iraqi government has warned Sweden that it will break off diplomatic ties if another Koran burning takes place in the country. The warning comes in response to the storming of the Iraqi embassy in Baghdad and the granting of permission for a public gathering where the Koran could be burned.

Embassy Stormed in Baghdad
On Thursday morning, hundreds of protesters stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad in protest of the planned burning of a Koran in Sweden. The protesters scaled the walls of the embassy and set it on fire. The attackers badly damaged the Swedish embassy, but all embassy staff were safe.
Permission Granted for Koran Burning
The Swedish police have granted permission for a public gathering outside the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm on Thursday. The gathering is being organized by a group that has threatened to burn a Koran. The police have said that they will use camera surveillance from the air to investigate, prevent, and prevent crime and disorder at the gathering.
Police to Use Camera Surveillance
The Swedish police have announced that they will use camera surveillance from the air to investigate, prevent, and prevent crime and disorder at the gathering outside the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm on Thursday. The surveillance will complement police patrolling and other safety-creating measures.
Freedom of Expression vs. Public Safety
The situation in Sweden has highlighted the tension between freedom of expression and public safety. The Swedish government must put in place necessary measures to protect its citizens from serious repercussions that could arise from the abuse of freedom of expression, an important right.
Future of Relations Uncertain
We are still uncertain about how this situation will develop and whether Iraq will carry out its threat to cut diplomatic ties with Sweden. In any case, it is clear that both countries must work together to ensure that such incidents do not occur again in the future.
