Terror attacks claim civilian lives in Iran

At least 73 civilians have been killed in two terrorist blasts in Iran’s Kerman Province.

The explosions took place on Wednesday in close proximity to the burial site of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, where people had gathered to commemorate his fourth martyrdom anniversary.

The Emergency Organization of Iran reported that the blasts left at least 170 others injured.

According to media reports, the blasts were caused by two suitcases packed with explosives and remotely detonated.

A crowd crush after the first explosion compounded the injuries.

General Soleimani who played a significant role in combating Daesh terrorists was assassinated on January 3, 2020, in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq.

His martyrdom sparked significant military responses from Iran.
