Authorities confirm explosions in Iran’s Kerman were terrorism
A latest update by authorities shows at least 103 people were killed and 141 were injured in the explosions.
The explosions came on the day people held a memorial service for General Qassem Soleimani, the late Iranian commander who was assassinated on January 3, 2020 in a US drone strike in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
Soleimani, who is originally from Iran’s Kerman province, has been buried in the Martyrs Cemetery of the provincial capital.
