Iran reports member of Revolutionary Guards killed in clashes with protesters
[IsraelTimes] A member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was killed in a protest in the country’s west after clashes broke out, the Mehr news agency reports, on the seventh day of economic rallies that have expanded to include political demands.

“During clashes in Malekshahi, Latif Karimi, a member of the IRGC, was killed while defending the country’s security,” Mehr says, after earlier reporting a member of the Basij paramilitary force was also killed in western Iran.

Malekshahi is a county of about 20,000 residents with a large Kurdish population, where “rioters attempted to enter a police station,” according to a separate news agency, Fars.

5 From #2 link: Khamenei sez - "Protest is legitimate, but protest is different from rioting." He warned that "officials should speak with protesters. Speaking with a rioter is pointless. Rioters must be put in their place."

Seems like that might have application in other riots protests.
