A Growing Security Threat: Iranian Intelligence Operations in Scandinavia (Part Two: Sweden)
2025
Overview
In its 2023-2024 security assessment, the Swedish Security Service (Säkerhetspolisen, or Säpo) singled out the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) as a major national threat. Säpo noted that the IRI's intelligence services routinely engaged in espionage to circumvent international sanctions and obtain advanced technology and expertise from Swedish research institutions and industries. Although no specific sectors were named, Iran--alongside Russia and China--was cited as a state seeking to develop high-tech capabilities in defiance of export controls. Beyond its pursuit of strategically sensitive or sanctioned technologies, the IRI was implicated in assassination plots on Swedish soil that targeted Iranian dissidents and citizens of hostile states. Tehran relied on proxies to conduct intelligence gathering and terrorist activities, with cyber espionage playing a key role in tracking and monitoring dissidents. The Iranian regime also mounted influence campaigns aimed at spreading disinformation and influencing policymakers.
