Tehran, Iran, Aug. 28 – Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned on Monday Sweden’s envoy in Tehran over the recent publication of a caricature of Islam’s Prophet Mohammad – deemed to be offensive – in a Swedish daily, the state broadcasting corporation reported.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry protested to the Swedish charge d’affaires over the publication of the drawing in the Swedish regional daily Nerikes Allehanda.

The state-run news agency ISNA report that the Iranian Foreign Ministry had condemned the caricature as an “offence to more than one billion Muslims around the world”.
