More than one hundred people were killed, and at least 188 others injured, after a series of blasts near the burial site of slain military commander Qasem Soleimani, in the Iranian city of Kerman on Wednesday.
Iran’s state media says at least one of the explosions was caused by a bomb placed in a suitcase inside a car, and appeared to have been detonated remotely.
The second blast occurred some 20 minutes later, when rescuers arrived following the first explosion.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the twin blasts came on the fourth anniversary of Soleimani’s death in a U.S. air strike, threatening to increase tensions in the Middle East even more.
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said “the evil and criminal enemies“ of Iran had “martyred“ a large number of people in Kerman, adding that the attack will be met with a “harsh response.“
The ayatollah added that the attacks came as “heartless criminals“ tried to prevent people from visiting the grave of Soleimani.
The deadly blasts come amid rising tensions in the Middle East, after a drone attack in Beirut, which killed Hamas’ second-in-command.
With Iran-backed Hezbollah saying Israel are responsible for the drone attack earlier this week, the militant group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said the deaths of senior Hamas leaders would not go “unpunished“ and warned Israel, any war in Lebanon would “come at a very high cost.“
Nasrallah, however, stopped short of declaring war against Israel.
