STOCKHOLM: Sweden wants the European Union to officially deem Iran´s Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organisation after several attacks on Israeli targets in Sweden, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Sunday.

Sweden´s Sapo intelligence agency has accused Iran of recruiting members of Swedish criminal gangs to commit “acts of violence” against Israeli and other interests in Sweden, a claim Iran has denied.

Three attacks have been carried out against the Israeli embassy in Stockholm in the past year, and two attacks have targeted an Israeli military technology firm in the past six months.
