Gatherings and disturbances took place on Sunday evening in the border town of Sardasht. The town returned to normal after State Security Forces intervened, the news agency said in a dispatch on Monday.
The report said that troublemakers set fire to tyres in the streets and set off sonic booms.
Iranian officials and state-run media often refer to anti-government protesters as troublemakers.
Sardasht and other Kurdish towns such as Mahabad have been the scene of widespread anti-government protests and clashes in recent days.
Last night, demonstrators threw stones at the paramilitary police, according to the state news agency.
The SSF launched a crackdown on protestors in an attempt to disperse them. Traffic came to a halt during the unrest, IRNA said.
Sardasht has a population of approximately one hundred thousand people.
