The Iranian agency "IRNA" reported today, Thursday, that "the first explosion that occurred in the city of Kerman near the grave of Qassem Soleimani was carried out by a suicide bomber." Iranian media had denied news of gunfire in the city of Kerman, following two explosions that resulted in the deaths of nearly 100 people during a memorial service for the Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq in 2020.
