Iran has vowed to retaliate.
The terrorist organization Isis claims to have carried out the attack that killed at least 84 people in Iran yesterday.
Isis announced it on the Telegram messaging service. According to the message, two members of the terrorist organization detonated their bomb belts in the city of Kerman near Maj.-Gen Qassem Suleimani grave.
At the time of the explosion, hundreds of people had gathered to honor the anniversary of the death of the commander of the Revolutionary Guard. The US killed Suleiman in an airstrike in Iraq in January 2020.
In addition to the deaths, more than 280 people were injured in the bombings. It was one of the most devastating terrorist attacks in Iran in decades.
The alleged announcement by ISIS has spread on the message channels of the extremist Islamists. So far, its authenticity has not been confirmed.
Iran has announced that it will retaliate. Demonstrations have been organized in various cities after the attack. Iranian authorities have called on citizens to protest tomorrow when the funerals of the victims of the terrorist attack take place.
of The New York Times according to the US intelligence also indicates that Isis probably carried out a terrorist attack in Kerman.
Some Iranian politicians recently blamed the attack on Israel, which is waging a war against Iran-backed Hamas in Gaza. According to the NYT, Western experts consider this unlikely because Israel has typically targeted specific individuals or targets.
American experts consider yesterday’s target to be a very possible target for ISIS, a terrorist organization opposed to Iran controlled by Shiite Muslims.
Isis has previously claimed to have carried out terrorist attacks in Iran. The last time Isis announced that it had carried out a terrorist attack in which 13 people died in the city of Shiraz in October 2022.
