Tragedy struck near the grave of the late Iranian general Qasem Soleimani as a series of ‘terrorist attacks’ left over 100 people dead and scores injured. The attacks occurred in the city of Kerman, where Soleimani was laid to rest.
The incident took place during a funeral procession for Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone strike earlier this month. Thousands of mourners had gathered to pay their respects when multiple explosions rocked the area.
The exact nature of the attacks and the identity of the perpetrators are still under investigation. However, Iranian officials have labeled them as ‘terrorist attacks’ and vowed to bring the culprits to justice.
The international community has condemned the violence and expressed condolences to the victims’ families. Many countries have called for restraint and de-escalation of tensions in the region, fearing further retaliation and escalation of violence.
Qasem Soleimani, the former commander of Iran’s Quds Force, was a highly influential figure in the country and played a major role in shaping Iran’s regional policies. His killing has heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, leading to fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.
The attacks near Soleimani’s grave have further intensified the already volatile situation. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions and the potential for further violence in the region.
