Ali Larijani: Those who provoke confrontation and clashes will face severe punishment

Protests and riots must be clearly distinguished, and individuals provoking clashes and violence will face severe punishment.

As reported by BAKU.WS, this was stated by the Secretary of the Security Council of Iran, Ali Larijani.

According to him, peaceful actions are popular protests caused by economic problems that have developed in the country: "As the Supreme Leader emphasized, these protests are completely understandable. Ensuring economic stability, especially in the currency sphere, is one of the fair demands of the people."

According to the Secretary of the Security Council of Iran, a destructive movement has also emerged in parallel, which has nothing to do with the economic demands of the population: "This movement, abusing the protests, resorted to extremely violent and criminal actions, including killing people and arson."

He also noted that many law enforcement officers were injured, and some, unfortunately, died: "Among peaceful citizens who did not participate in either protests or clashes, there are also dead and wounded."
