Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said his country will not accept the arrival of a new Swedish ambassador to Tehran as a result of Stockholm approving Quran burning protests.

"The Swedish ambassador's term in Tehran has ended and, according to the president’s order, until the Swedish government takes a serious action over the desecration of the Holy Quran, we will not accept the new Swedish ambassador," Amirabdollahian said.

The minister also reiterated that Tehran will not send an envoy to Stockholm.
