The incident sparked a wave of anger in the Arab and Islamic regions. The decision was made during an urgent meeting with senior military and security officials, chaired by the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, to discuss a security incident in Baghdad, where Iraqi protesters set fire to the Swedish embassy. The meeting condemned the incident and considered the action a security breach that must be dealt with immediately. Iraqi protesters set fire to the Swedish embassy in Baghdad ahead of a planned burning of a Quran copy in Sweden, AFP reported.

A day after it was attacked, the Swedish embassy in Iraq announced that it was temporarily relocating its activities to Stockholm. According to the Swedish foreign ministry, for security considerations, the embassy's activities and its foreign employees have been temporarily moved to Stockholm.
