Follow-up to this story from yesterday.

[Regnum] The number of victims of a terrorist attack near a cemetery in Iran where Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) General Qasem Soleimani is buried has risen to 211 people. The television and radio corporation IRIB reported this on January 3.

“The number of victims of the terrorist attack in Kerman has reached 211 people,” the report says.

Previously it was reported that 103 were killed and 142 were injured.

As Regnum reported, two explosions occurred in the Iranian city of Kerman during a mourning ceremony on the anniversary of the death of Soleimani.

Authorities called the incident a terrorist attack. The explosions were carried out remotely; the bombs were placed in bags that were lying near the mausoleum building.

Soleimani was killed on January 3, 2020, as a result of an airstrike by American forces near Baghdad airport. The Pentagon said the strike was carried out on the personal orders of then-US President Donald Trump.

Trump later noted that US authorities consider it acceptable to eliminate the country's opponents and that the CIA has organized many such killings in the past. Iran responded to the killing of Soleimani by attacking American military bases in Iraq.

Courtesy of Skidmark, the Daily Mail chimes in: Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vows 'harsh response' for 'evil and criminal enemies' after remotely detonated bombs killed nearly 100 and injured scores more during cemetery gathering to mark anniversary of spymaster Soleimani's assassination

#4 Me too Grom - I saw ISIS took responsibility and laughed at myself. Today I am reminding myself that ISIS is America's 'moderate rebels'.

#8 ISIS makes sense. During his life Soleimani hunted down and killed numerous ISIS members.

Ironic that everyone was looking for a revenge attack on the anniversary of his death. There was one, but from an unexpected direction.
