Reports of between two and four explosions at ceremony marking fourth anniversary of killing of top general Qassem Suleimani
Two explosions have killed at least 103 people and injured scores more at a memorial ceremony in Iran marking the fourth anniversary of the US killing of Qassem Suleimani, the head of Iran’s al-Quds force and one of the most powerful men in the Middle East.
A senior official called the blasts a terrorist attack, without elaborating on who could be behind them. No one has immediately claimed responsibility for what appeared to be the deadliest attack to target Iran since its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
According to IRNA, Iran’s official news agency, the first explosion in the south-central city of Kerman occurred 700 metres from Suleimani’s burial place and the second 1km from it.
Well, Israel is going to get American support regardless who the president is. Trump is just as likely, without any qualms on rhetoric, to send US weapons and money and maybe even troops to the mid east, but first he’ll send them to the American south west to create his own ‘Gaza’ in southern California. So, it looks like America is in for another war in the middle east. Which is another big win for Russia, keeping us tied up there.
