"Iran Pledges Retaliation as ISIS Claims Deadly Soleimani Memorial Attack"

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the twin bombings near Qasem Soleimani's burial site in Kerman, Iran, which resulted in at least 84 deaths and 284 injuries, marking the deadliest attack in the country since the 1979 revolution. The attack occurred during the fourth anniversary of Soleimani's assassination, and ISIS referred to the victims as "polytheists" gathering near the grave of their "dead leader." The Iranian media's account of the attack, which included a remotely detonated bomb, differs from ISIS's claim of suicide bombers. Iran has declared a day of mourning, and President Raisi canceled a trip to Turkey in response to the tragedy.
