After Sweden, protesters burn Quran in front of Iraqi embassy in Denmark

In a controversial act of protest, two individuals set fire to a copy of the Quran outside the Iraqi embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark. The incident comes in the wake of Denmark and Sweden's decision to permit Quran burning under the banner of freedom of expression, triggering widespread demonstrations in Iran and Iraq. Last week, protesters in Iraq also targeted the Swedish embassy in Baghdad, adding to the escalating tensions between the nations.

The group behind the demonstration, known as "Danish Patriots," has conducted similar events in the past and live-streamed their actions on social media. The situation worsened when thousands of Iraqis took to the streets in Baghdad to voice their opposition to the burnings, with several ruling parties and armed groups, closely linked to Iran, participating in the rally.

During the demonstration in Copenhagen, an organizer deliberately set fire to the Quran, placing it alongside an Iraqi flag on the ground, sparking outrage from both domestic and international communities.

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, strongly condemned the act, calling for the harshest penalties for those who disrespect the Quran.

As the situation remains tense, authorities in both countries are closely monitoring developments, and investigations into the incidents are ongoing. The unrest raises concerns about the delicate diplomatic relations between Iraq and Denmark and calls for a measured response to avoid further escalation.
