RNA - In his message on Thursday, the top commander also vowed that and any threat to Iranian citizens’ security will meet resolute response.

"Iran's sustainable security and durable peace which have angered the wicked enemies have not been achieved so easily that a group of filthy mercenaries can target in a bid to frighten people in the capital and other cities," Major General Baqeri said.

Baqeri also appreciated police and volunteer forces who foiled the plots of the rioters.

According to Fars News Agancy, while the Iranian nation were still mourning for the death of a number of their fellow countrymen aboard the ATR passenger plane in southwestern Iran, the enemies provoked such riots to avenge their contemptuous setbacks in the wake of resistance movement’s victories and Iranians’ epic turnout in the Bahman 22 rallies.

In one of the streets of Northern Tehran, there was a riot on Monday night. The riot was subdued by the security forces after a few hours and the main instigators were arrested.

In addition to the five security forces, who were killed in separate car-ramming attacks and stabbing on Monday night, 30 others were injured in the riot.
