Iran Claims All ‘U.S.-Backed' ISIS Terrorists Tied to Soleimani Funeral Bombing Arrested
[Breitbart] The local government of Kerman, Iran, claimed this weekend that it had definitively identified and arrested all suspected terrorists involved in the bombing of an event to mark the anniversary of the death of Iranian terror mastermind Qasem Soleimani on January 3.

Soleimani, the late head of the elite Quds Force foreign terror unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was eliminated from the battlefield by a U.S. drone strike on January 3, 2020, in Iraq. He was in the country for meetings with the head of several Iran-backed militias in the region and died alongside Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the head of the Iraqi terror organization the Hezbollah Brigades.

Iran typically hosts lavish memorial events featuring throngs of thousands of people to commemorate the drone strike and threaten attacks on the United States. Iranian officials have regularly threatened to kill former President Donald Trump and recently demanded $50 billion in redress for the drone strike.

On January 3, 2024, the Iranian Islamist regime organized a mass event in Kerman, where Soleimani’s tomb is located, to honor the terrorist. Two explosions, which occurred with enough time between them to target first responders after the first blast, occurred outside the cemetery, killing 89 people and injuring nearly 300 others.
