"Iran Mourns as Deadly Blasts at Soleimani Memorial Claim Over 100 Lives"
Iran's leadership, including the Revolutionary Guards and First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber, vowed strong retaliation after nearly 100 people were killed in explosions during a ceremony commemorating the late General Qassem Soleimani. The attack, which no group has claimed responsibility for, is the deadliest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. U.S. officials suspect Islamic State militants. Iran has a history of accusing the U.S. and Israel of supporting anti-Iran militant groups, and tensions in the region remain high following various attacks and retaliations involving Iran-backed groups and U.S. forces.
