Iran Police Chief Issues 3-Day Ultimatum to Protesters, Warns of Strict Legal Action

Iran's Police Chief has given an ultimatum of 3 days to the protestors. What is the entire matter? Let's find out.

Violent protests that took place in Iran a few days ago resulted in heavy loss of life and property. These protests also increased tensions between Iran and the United States of America, with US President Donald Trump even threatening to attack Iran. However, tensions between the two countries eased to some extent after Iran promised not to hang the protesters on a large scale. However, the Iranian government has now declared the recent protests as riots.

Ultimatum given to protesters

Iran's National Police Chief Ahmad-Reza Radan has issued an ultimatum to the protesters involved in the riots in the country. Radan, sending a message to the protesters, said, "Surrender within 3 days, or the government and police will take strict action under the law. Individual action will be taken against the rioters."

What will happen to those who surrender?

Radan stated that strict action would not be taken against the protesters who surrender within the stipulated deadline. Radan said that those who surrender would be considered misguided youth, not enemy soldiers, and would be given the minimum punishment. Such people would be treated leniently, considering them to be confused.

Attempt to destabilise Iran

The Iranian government believes that the protests in the country were aimed at increasing instability. Iranian officials claim that America, as well as Israel (Israel), were behind this, so that pressure could be created for a coup in the country.
