Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has announced that Swedish authorities are closely monitoring potential terrorist threats in the wake of US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran. According to Kristersson, the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) is keeping close watch on individuals who could pose a danger in Sweden following the military actions that began on Saturday.
Kristersson declined to comment directly on the US and Israeli attacks but outlined Sweden's position on Iran. 'Sweden's stance is that this is a regime where the Iranian people must get a chance to determine their own fate,' he stated. The Prime Minister described Iran as a 'terrible regime' but expressed uncertainty about the outcome of the airstrikes.

'It's very difficult to know what kind of result this type of airstrike will have,' Kristersson said. He added that the situation has created 'great concern and confusion' and that no one can predict where events are heading. 'The coming days or weeks will show how this goes,' he concluded.
The Prime Minister's comments come as Swedish security authorities remain on high alert for potential retaliatory actions following the military strikes against Iran.
