A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said:
The UK strongly condemns the attacks on the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad. Violence against diplomatic missions is unacceptable in any circumstances.
Governments have a responsibility to protect diplomatic missions under the Vienna Convention and it is unacceptable that the Iraqi Security Forces did not act to prevent last night's breach of an Embassy.
We welcome the Iraqi Government's intention to prosecute those responsible.
