Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaanisaid Monday, “We want governments of countries in which such shameful insults occur to prevent the repetition of such disgraceful actions and to strongly deal with the perpetrators.”
Following the incident, Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah militant group, called on all Arab and Muslim countries to expel the Swedish ambassadors from their respective nations and recall their own ambassadors from Sweden, echoing the actions taken by the Iraqi government.
The tensions escalated further when hundreds of supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr, a radical Iraqi Shia cleric, attacked the Swedish embassy in Baghdad, setting it on fire. A few days later, Baghdad expelled the Swedish envoy from the country.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Commander Hossein Salami has also threatened attacks against those responsible for the incident in their own country, saying that those who burn or desecrate the Quran will not enjoy security.
Ali Khamenei, demanded harsh punishment for the perpetrators, saying that Sweden should hand over the individuals involved to a Muslim country. In the case of some Muslim states, the punishment would be execution.

Who is the biggest fighter against burning the Quran: Sunni or Shia and how do they deal with the destruction of Iranian Qurans smuggled to Saudi and Saudi Qurans smuggled to Iran?
I oppose burning Korans on the basis that it's a waste of toilet paper.
