At least 103 killed in twin blasts in Iran
Hindustan Times
|January 04, 2024
Bomb blasts ripped through a crowd commemorating Revolutionary Guards general Qassem Soleimani's death
-
Two bombs exploded Wednesday at a commemoration for a prominent Iranian general slain in a US drone strike in 2020, Iranian officials said, killing at least 103 people as the Middle East remains on edge over Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for what appeared to be the deadliest militant attack to target Iran since its 1979 Islamic Revolution. At least 211 people were wounded.
The two explosions unclaimed but labelled a "terrorist attack" by state media and regional authorities - came amid high Middle East tensions over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and the killing of a Hamas senior leader in Lebanon on Tuesday.
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday vowed a "harsh response" after twin blasts that killed at least 103 people in the country's south.
"The evil and criminal enemies of the Iranian nation once again created a disaster and martyred a large number of dear people in Kerman," said Khamenei in a statement.
"This disaster will have a harsh response, God willing."
