"Over 100 Dead in Explosive Attack at Soleimani Memorial in Iran"

A deadly attack involving two bombs occurred at an event in Kerman, Iran, commemorating the fourth anniversary of the death of General Qassem Soleimani, killing at least 103 people and injuring 141 others. The explosions, which took place near Soleimani's gravesite, are being described by Iranian authorities and a senior White House official as a terrorist attack, with no group having claimed responsibility yet. The incident is under investigation, and Iranian officials have vowed to punish those responsible. Soleimani, a significant figure in Iran's military operations, was killed in a US drone strike in 2020, an act that has since heightened tensions and led to widespread protests against the United States.
