Iran executes Swedish-Iranian for alleged terrorism

Iran executes a Swedish-Iranian man for his alleged involvement in a 2018 attack on a military parade that killed 25 people. Habib Chaab was a founder of a separatist group calling for independence for ethnic Arabs in Iran's Khuzestan province. Iran accused Chaab of leading Harakat al-Nidal, a terrorist group behind attacks in the southwestern part of the country.

The execution has been criticized by Sweden and the European Union. Iran has arrested dozens of people with dual nationality or foreign permanent residency in recent years, mostly on spying and national security charges.

What are the implications of Iran's recent execution of people with dual nationality or foreign permanent residency on diplomatic relations with other countries?
