Two explosions at Kerman ceremony marking anniversary of killing of Qassem Suleimani raise Middle East tensions further
More than 95 Iranians were killed and scores more injured in a terrorist attack at a ceremony in Iran to commemorate the assassination of a top general, further heightening tensions in the increasingly volatile Middle East.
The explosions came at a memorial ceremony in Iran marking the fourth anniversary of the killing of Qassem Suleimani, the head of Iran’s al-Quds force, and it was not clear whether either of Suleimani’s principal regional adversaries – Israel or Islamic State – were responsible for the carnage.
Iran’s new minister of interior, the hardliner Ahmad Vahidi, did not immediately attribute blame for the attack and no side claimed responsibility for the deadliest single terrorist incident since the Iranian Revolution in 1979. The US state department said it had no reason to believe Israel was involved.
An early death toll of 103 was revised down, but Iran’s health minister, Bahram Einollahi, said many of the wounded were in critical condition and the toll could rise.

It’s a memorial, not a parade. Your comment is scary.
Still is a memorial
Same difference. Only losers celebrate the military.
Imagine living in a free country and having access to pretty much every information you want and then making fun of people in an authoritarian dictatorship being blown up because they went to the memorial of the guy who was held up as a martyr and hero by their propaganda, probably more so than anyone else.
Also really shows that you have no values when you think an attack like that on trumples would be no big deal, maybe even funny. Being radicalized and stupid doesn’t mean you should die either.
Would you offer the same compassion if this was in Germany 1944? A bunch of people suckered into propaganda celebrating the memory of a Nazi general?
I’d hope not.
Oh I don’t think it’d be no big deal, I think it would be amazing news to hear a bunch of trump supporters died.
Being dangerous means you should die, Trump or Iran regime supporters are not simply people with different views they are actively wanting to kill people for thing such as being LGBTQ+.
