"Deadly Explosions at Soleimani Memorial Claim Over 100 Lives in Iran"

TL;DR Summary
At least 84 people were killed and over 210 injured in two explosions at a memorial event for the late Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in southern Iran. No group has claimed responsibility, but Iran blames Israel, with suggestions that the attack could be the work of the Islamic State or other militant groups. The incident adds to the already high tensions in the Middle East, following the recent killing of a Hamas leader in Beirut, which has been attributed to Israel. The U.S. has denied involvement in the Iran blasts, and the sophistication of the attack suggests it may not be state-sponsored.
