    > COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Swedish authorities accused Iran on Tuesday of being responsible for thousands of text messages that were sent to people in the Scandinavian country calling for revenge over the burnings of Islam's holy book in 2023.

    > In August 2023, Swedish media reported that a large number of people in Sweden had received text messages in Swedish calling for revenge against people who were burning the Quran, Ljungqvist said, adding that the sender of the messages was "a group calling itself the Anzu team.”

    > In a separate statement, SAPO's operational manager Fredrik Hallström said Tuesday the text messages ' intent was to also "Paint the image of Sweden as an Islamophobic country and create division in society.”

    Sweden is knee deep in shit like these. What’s wrong with them? What games are they playing?

    First they let that russian dude burn the quran only to rise tension with the Muslim community. Online the dude was defended by everyone, and the people to blame were those who took offense.

    Then one year later, they discovered that the russian guy was actually doing that on behalf of Russia and so they dealt with him.

    Now they bring in iran that they send thousands of messages to random people in Sweden? Hahahaha

    Looking forward to the next episode of this drama.
