Kanaani warned the Parliament of Sweden on Thursday that it should not sacrifice its national interests and its relations with Iran only to please the enemies of Iran.
He made the remarks in response to a measure adopted by the Swedish Parliament against the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
According to Kanaani, the IRGC is a state organization with a legitimate and official identity which along with other armed forces of Iran is responsible for guaranteeing the country’s security.
As he underlined, the IRGC has played a leading role in the fight against Takfiri terrorist group and Daesh (ISIS) over the past decade.
The spokesman also described IRGC's role in ensuring international and regional peace and security as "historical".
Kanaani said the Foreign Ministry of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns Sweden's anti-IRGC measure and views it as unlawful and against international laws.
