Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a cabinet session in Tehran on Wednesday, Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli said, all those behind the incident would be dealt with “decisively.
Rahmani Fazli offered his condolences to the bereaved families of five security forces who were killed in an attack by the dervishes.
There would be no dialogue with the rioters, he said.
The minister further said it is expected that the Judiciary bring to justice all those who broke the law.
On Tuesday, Police Spokesman Brigadier General Saeed Montazer-al-Mahdi told the Tasnim News Agency that the Law Enforcement forces had arrested more than 300 members of the Gonabadi Dervishes, including the drivers of a bus and a car that plowed through a group of police forces.
In the attacks by the dervishes, three Law Enforcement forces and two members of the Basij (Mobilization) Force were killed.
Unfortunately, 30 police forces were also injured and many public and private properties were destroyed in the clashes, Montazer-al-Mahdi said.
A video on social media showed a white bus plowing through a group of around 40 riot police officers in a narrow street.
