Iran announced it executed a Swedish national on security charges, a move that Sweden and rights groups say raises urgent questions about due process and consular rights.

Iranian state media reported the execution and said the person had been convicted on national security charges.
Swedish officials said they were notified and have demanded clarification and consular access from Iranian authorities.
Human rights groups and EU officials warned the case fits a pattern of Iran prosecuting dual nationals on vague security charges with limited transparency.
The execution heightens tensions between Sweden and Iran and could affect diplomatic and consular protections for dual citizens.
Details about the individual, the date of execution, and the legal proceedings remain disputed and are being reviewed by international observers.
