26:17Now PlayingIn a dramatic crackdown on foreign espionage, Sweden has arrested and is set to deport Iranian cleric Mohsen Hakimollahi, the head of Stockholm’s Imam Ali Islamic Center, over allegations that the mosque was being used as a front for Iranian intelligence operations. “This is extremely serious,” warned Sweden’s Minister for Social Affairs, Jakob Forssmed, as the government cut all state funding to the mosque, citing threats to national security. Hakimollahi, who has lived in Sweden for over a decade and built ties with local politicians, was taken from his home by plainclothes officers and has been held in a Swedish detention center since. His supporters insist he is being unfairly targeted, arguing, “Hakimollahi is neither suspected of any crimes nor the subject of any criminal investigation.” However, Swedish authorities, citing national security laws, maintain the right to deport non-citizens based on intelligence assessments alone. As tensions between Sweden and the Iranian regime escalate, this case highlights the growing scrutiny of foreign-backed religious institutions operating in Europe.
