COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The ambassador of Iran has been excluded from this year’s Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm because of “the serious and escalating situation” in the country.

Friday’s announcement comes after the foundation excluded the ambassadors of Russia and Belarus earlier this week because of the war in Ukraine. Iran has seen deadly protests in recent weeks.
