Two explosions close in time to one another ripped through a cemetery in the southern Iranian city of Kerman on Wednesday, killing scores of people and injuring over 15 others. The initial death toll of 20 was been quickly revised upward, with Reuters and Sky News subsequently reporting, “At least 50 people have been killed at a cemetery in Iran where a ceremony was being held to mark the 2020 assassination of Iran’s top commander Qassem Soleimani, an official has told Reuters news agency.”
Large crowds had been gathered near the grave of IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani a day of memorial events marking his death anniversary. The semi-official Nournews initially described that “several gas canisters exploded on the road leading to the cemetery and relevant authorities are monitoring the situation”.
Videos from the scene show chaos after the two explosions sent people running, which appear to number in the tens of thousands.
A correspondent with Iranian state-run Tasnim has said that the mounting casualty count is “high”. He’s been cited as saying, “There is a strong chance that more 50 people have lost their lives and 50-60 have been injured.”
Scenes from blast aftermath at the crowded cemetery…
According to more details via Al Jazeera:
Iranian state media says two explosions have struck a procession marking the anniversary of General Qassem Soleimani’s assassination. The blasts reportedly happened near the slain commander’s gravesite in the city of Kerman.
And very quickly in the aftermath, as casualties are still being rushed to the hospital, an Iranian official has been quoted in state media as saying the blasts in Kerman city were “terrorist attacks”.
This couldn’t come at a worse time and appears possibly connected with events in Gaza as the region already stands on the brink of a major regional war.

Yesterday Israel assassinated the deputy head of Hamas in a drone strike on southern Beirut, and Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah is still set to give a major speech later today.

I already avoid crowds. You don’t have to sell me on it….
Soleimani:
When you finally get your 72 virgins but you left your dick in Baghdad….
Wish I could criticize that.
What an appropriate memorial! Gotta hand it to those Muzzies…they REALLY know how to express themselves!
In 2006 Netanyahu dedicated a memorial at the site of the 1946 Zionist bombing of the King David Hotel which killed over 100 people (mostly British). The memorial honored the bombers rather than the victims of the attack.
King David should have been.put to death after committing adultery and murder.
According to the Mosaic law code anyway.
Maybe King David was the Bill Clinton of the era, and his shenanigans without being prosecuted pretty much proved to the masses of street Jews that the whole thing was bullshit because when the same laws were applied to The People, they would actually be put to death for committing adultery and murder.
Once the people saw the rules and punishments were not applied equally?
The Judaic mind control and taxation project was fucked.
Kinda like USA today.
Nothing new under the sun indeed.
You were on this article like a fat kid on an m&m, you Zionist shill.
I see YOU here. Whatcha tryin’ to imply?
That you’re a Zionist shill.
By that logic, you’re a subservient sucker of Muslim cocks…probably under aged muzziecock at that.
LOL. You triggered little bitch.
I see. You think round two of name calling will secure your victory in this debate.
So…retard.
Central Scrotum is a traitor who is in Israel’s pocket. You cannot support Israel and support the US at the same time. Anyone who supports Israel, is a traitor to the US….
If I thought for ONE SECOND that “america” was populated entirely by assholes like you? I’d burn the fucking place to the ground personally.
You seem to know an awful lot about fat kids and M&M’s. Do you, by any chance, own a windowless van or an ice cream truck?
ISLAMIC STATE CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY.
Suck on that, moron.
Well, certainly can’t be Trump this time…so my guess is an entitiy born around 1948….
At a funeral memorial. Great.
Are Arabs capable of murder as a false flag?
Or is the blue and white brigade sowing seeds of a wider war?
Maybe a better speculation would be
‘who most urgently wants the masses killing each other?’
Why, that same group of people that have been fomenting war for centuries.
The controllers. Or, maybe the eugenicists at the WEF / WHO.
More likely, the international bankster families.
Hint: Two of them begin with the letter R.
If inclined to think 3 letter agencies that are in bed with the MIC,
well, small explosions at funerals leads to larger destructive explosions at buildings.
Incendiaries cost money, so there’s that, but any group giving them to another group to use on innocent people is as guilty as the parties delivering the ordnance.
Evil seems to be winning.
Mother Mary, pray for us sinners. Now, and at the hour of our death.
Praying to Mary is like buying a candy bar, throwing it away and eating the wrapper.
Attacking everything that is good and decent in this world is like working for Satan. Don’t forget to collect your wages.
Don’t take MY word for it, midwit. Ask her first born Son.
Jesus told me that when you kill Palestinians you are killing him.
Try NOT asking Mexicans for moral advice. They’re Catholic.
And I haven’t killed anyone…that you know of.
Yet.
Jesus knows.
Hey! Seuss! knows nothing. He’s runnin a leaf blower in muh back yard right now!
Noted.
I’m sure you’ve got dudes doing something in your ‘back yard’
Your broke ass never had a back yard.
Yes, I’m sure that you are correct in stating that Jesus would want you to disrespect His mother.
You’re the one disrespecting Jesus…doing exactly what HE Told you not to you filthy idolator.
What cult do you belong to? Even your precious Martin Luther honored the Theotokos.
He was a maverick, not suicidal. Just LOOK at all the people the Vatican is responsible for murdering.
Focus on one discussion topic at a time. Clear your mind and make a reasoned response.
It’s ALL related. More is the pity that you don’t see it.
Much like giving any credence whatsoever to anything an Eccentric Scrotumizer opines.
At this point, what difference do your words make
None
The difference is I’ve always known the lesson you’ve yet to learn about yourself. How does it feel running last place all your life? The view must be spectacular from way back there!
praying to any of them is like cutting your own foreskin off, mentally
I’ll pray for you
All hail the Central American Stupidizer!
Long live the Ding!
Livin’ rent free now baby!
Occam says it was an anti-government Iranian. Some of them undoubtedly hate the theocracy enough. This isn’t the Israelis’ style. Too complicated for CIA. False flag is a small possibility but doubtful the towel heads would want to disrupt their own shindig.
With as much shit as we’ve stirred over there the last century, I don’t know how they’ve managed to hold together this long.
I’m still reeling from the imagery of a guy who made a life out of killing people reaching out from beyond the grave to claim 50 more souls.
Fucking impressive.
In your opinion was it a good idea for the CIA to overthrow the elected government of Iran in 1953 and install the murderous Shah?
If a foreign nation installed a dictator in America who went on to torture and kill US citizens would you hold a grudge?
Fuck you, asshole. No one here believes you want my opinion about anything, so just go fuck yourself today…again.
I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.
Then we’re gonna be VERY busy up in here, ain’t we!
If we want to know what you think, Langley,
we need only turn on the Operation Mockingbird
alphabet “news”.
I’ll pass.
I wouldn’t be talking shit if I lived where you do, jackwagon.
If a foreign nation installed a dictator in America who went on to torture and kill US citizens would you hold a grudge?
You mean like Lincoln the stooge?
I would like to suggest that Obama and Obiden have some holes in the way that the were selected for the Job. There was lots of under the table, black money and what not to suspect foreign involvement. Even it was nothing more than the Five Eyes shit. As far as torturing and killing American citizens I think Ashley Babot and some of the J6 political prisoners might have opinions.
Israelis have used everything from bare hands to ballistic missiles to murder their victims. They regularly assassinate prominent Iranians.
Occam says the simplest explanation for your post is that you’re covering for your foreign masters.
Sorry. I don’t attribute that sort of influence to myself. That’s obviously one of our MANY differences…gas bag.
Nor do I. I didn’t address you in that post.
ID really GAF.
” This isn’t the Israelis’ style”
lol
“Too complicated for CIA.”
you should comment more often, this stuff is GOLD
Sorry to interject in your debate, but is it possible, that TPTB can conduct false flag “Boston Marathon” style attacks in other countries, you know, to control their populations with naratives?
It was an exploding khlav kalash cart for sure!
Probably a Mossad bombing.
You of course realize that not a day goes by without a Sunni killing a Shiite or vice versa, right? It is a sacrament to them.
In this case, a mitzvah
or a fucking Indulgence. I hear the Pope is running a special on those this month!
Mossad bombing all the way.
Then their aim is still good. Kudos to them.
LOL. You pathetic Zionist shill.
Embrace the suck. You know you want to!
You fucking idiot. IS has claimed responsibility. Now apologize to everyone for being a shit eating liar.
From the book “Sum of All Men’s Fear”, paper bomb loaded with Octal Cast explosive, possibly adapted as a long range glide bomb. Good fiction if nothing else.
Looks like the staged Boston Marathon bombings to me.
Define “failing”…because it looks a lot different from my house.
Most of us don’t have a ringside seat like you.
…but you ALL flap your lips like you DO. Hypocrite much?
People think this shit is funny.
They have no idea they are all attacking the Tree of Life which supports them.
The system, which made it possible for 8 billion people to eat, is being attacked by all sides.
Working together, is the system.
Division is death.
Once the shipping stops, it’s gonna get dangerous quick.
Once the power is off, it is literally days to catastrophe.
…and then he …walked on down the hall. Till he came to a door. And he looked inside…
Embrace the suck!
Good
The US Government is owned by Israel. If you want to see just how bad it is, look at this. https://candidates.aipacpac.org/page/featured/
These are all of the members of Congress that have pledged their loyalty, not to you, not to the United States… but to Israel. That is how you get on this list, by pledging your loyalty to Israel. You cannot be loyal to the US, and to Israel at the same time, so we all know where their real loyalty lies….. They are all traitors….
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people! Hope they enjoy the same kind of thing repeatedly! Maybe Valerie Jarrett and the queer 0bama’ll be visiting next time.
What’s two more Muzzies in a hole in the Grand Scheme of things, right?
