The Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the twin explosions that rocked Iran’s Kerman province yesterday during a ceremony commemorating Qassem Soleimani, resulting in the death of 100 people and injuring dozens.
ISIS published a statement through its Telegram channels on Thursday, taking credit for the bombings that occurred in the Kerman region of southern Iran on the previous day.
The statement revealed that two ISIS suicide bombers carried out the attacks.
In response to the incident, the United States Department of State emphasized that the United States had no involvement in the Iran explosions in any way and saw no reason to believe that Israel was connected to them.
The US regarded the attempt to blame Tehran, Washington, or Tel Aviv for the twin bombings as “absurd” and likened the attack to the tactics employed by ISIS.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed a “harsh response” against those responsible for the attack that shook Kerman province in southern Iran on Wednesday.
