Iran is replacing 40 of its ambassadors, including some who voiced support for "rioters" during the unrest that erupted after June's disputed presidential election, semi-official Fars News Agency reported.
The envoys, who were not specified, were given notification that their diplomatic postings had been terminated.
"Some of these people officially took positions during the recent riots in Iran in support of rioters," Fars said.
"It is supposed that the new ambassadors will be selected from committed experts loyal to the basis of the (1979 Islamic) revolution," it said.
