Iraq warns Sweden of diplomatic ties cut

The warning came after hundreds of people stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad in protest of plans to burn a Quran in Stockholm.

Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom confirmed that embassy staff members were safe but criticized Iraqi authorities for failing to protect the embassy.

The Iraqi government strongly condemned the attack on the Swedish embassy, describing it as a security breach.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani's office pledged to safeguard diplomatic missions from such incidents in the future.

However, the Iraqi government also made it clear to the Swedish government that any repetition of Quran burning incidents on Swedish soil would lead to the severing of diplomatic relations between the two nations.

This warning reflects the seriousness of the issue and the potential consequences for diplomatic relations between the countries involved.

The warning from Iraq is a sign of the deep anger and resentment felt by many Muslims in the country over the desecration of their holy book.

The incident also highlights the need for greater understanding and respect between different cultures and religions.

The burning of the Quran is a highly sensitive issue in the Muslim world, and it is often seen as a provocation.

In the past, there have been protests and riots in response to the burning of the Quran.

The Iraqi government's warning to Sweden is a reminder of the potential consequences of such actions. (ILKHA)
