   Iran's security service was behind a special operation against targets in   
   Sweden, the Nordic   
   country's Prosecutor's Office said.   
      
   The operation saw hackers send thousands of text messages to Swedes calling   
   for revenge over   
   2023 burnings of the Koran, according to the Prosecutor's Office.   
      
   Senior prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist said in a statement on September 24 that a   
   preliminary   
   investigation showed "it was the Iranian state via the Iranian Islamic   
   Revolutionary Guards   
   Corps (IRGC), that carried out a data breach at a Swedish company that runs a   
   major SMS   
   service."   
      
   He added that investigators were able to establish the identities of the   
   Iranian hackers who   
   carried out the data breach.   
      
   "The aim was to further tighten the situation and increase the conflict that   
   prevailed   
   between different groups in society," Ljungqvist said, adding that while the   
   conditions for   
   prosecution abroad or extradition to Sweden "are lacking" for those suspected   
   of being behind   
   the breach, the case can be reopened.
