Iran's Army Ground Forces Commander said on Wednesday that "rioters" would have no place in the Islamic Republic if the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered a tougher crackdown on nationwide protests, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported.
" ... should he decide to deal with them, rioters will no longer have a place in the country," Brigadier General Kiumars Heydari said.
