The explosions during an event commemorating an Iranian general killed in a 2020 U.S. airstrike have resulted in the deaths of at least 73 individuals and injuries to over 170 others, as per reports from state-run media in Iran.
Iranian officials labeled the blasts as a “terrorist” attack but did not specify any particular group responsible, amidst tensions in the Middle East related to Israel’s conflict with Hamas.
The incident occurred during an event marking the fourth anniversary of the death of Gen. Qassem Soleimani near his grave site in Kerman, Iran.
