Iran's police chief gives 'rioters' three-day ultimatum

Jan 19, 2026, 10:25 GMT+0Updated: 19:48 GMT+0

Iran’s national police chief Ahmadreza Radan urged protestors he described as “misled” during the nationwide uprising to surrender within three days, saying those who do so would receive a significant reduction in punishment.

Radan also said authorities would continue to pursue those involved in recent protests, using language that labeled them as “rioters” and “terrorists.”

“We promised the people that we would pursue the rioters and terrorists to the last person,” Radan said.

He said many had already been detained and claimed they had confessed.
