Reuters reported:
“’It’s natural to see this in the context of the current security situation and that this could be an attack deliberately targeting the U.S. embassy’, Frode Larsen, head of the Oslo police investigation unit told a news conference.
No suspects have been identified at present but police are searching for one or several perpetrators and are cooperating closely with the embassy, Larsen said.
‘One of our hypotheses is that this is terrorism, but we are also exploring other options’, Larsen later told public broadcaster NRK.”

There are serious concerns about Iranian operatives utilizing the Scandinavian gangs.
While this may seem far-fetched, it’s actually a real, documented thing. US Treasury Department even sanctioned Foxtrot for using teenagers to hurl hand grenades at Israeli embassy on Iranian orders:
“Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned the Foxtrot Network, a transnational criminal organization (TCO) primarily based in Sweden that has trafficked illicit drugs and that carried out attacks on Israelis and Jews in Europe, along with its fugitive leader Rawa Majid. In January 2024, the Foxtrot Network orchestrated an attack on the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, on behalf of the Government of Iran.”
