Two explosions at Kerman ceremony marking anniversary of killing of Qassem Suleimani raise Middle East tensions further
More than 95 Iranians were killed and scores more injured in a terrorist attack at a ceremony in Iran to commemorate the assassination of a top general, further heightening tensions in the increasingly volatile Middle East.
The explosions came at a memorial ceremony in Iran marking the fourth anniversary of the killing of Qassem Suleimani, the head of Iran’s al-Quds force, and it was not clear whether either of Suleimani’s principal regional adversaries – Israel or Islamic State – were responsible for the carnage.
Iran’s new minister of interior, the hardliner Ahmad Vahidi, did not immediately attribute blame for the attack and no side claimed responsibility for the deadliest single terrorist incident since the Iranian Revolution in 1979. The US state department said it had no reason to believe Israel was involved.
An early death toll of 103 was revised down, but Iran’s health minister, Bahram Einollahi, said many of the wounded were in critical condition and the toll could rise.

Imagine living in a free country and having access to pretty much every information you want and then making fun of people in an authoritarian dictatorship being blown up because they went to the memorial of the guy who was held up as a martyr and hero by their propaganda, probably more so than anyone else.
Also really shows that you have no values when you think an attack like that on trumples would be no big deal, maybe even funny. Being radicalized and stupid doesn’t mean you should die either.
Would you offer the same compassion if this was in Germany 1944? A bunch of people suckered into propaganda celebrating the memory of a Nazi general?
I’d hope not.
Oh I don’t think it’d be no big deal, I think it would be amazing news to hear a bunch of trump supporters died.
Being dangerous means you should die, Trump or Iran regime supporters are not simply people with different views they are actively wanting to kill people for thing such as being LGBTQ+.
As a german I get ultra triggered whenever people with American brainrot pretend to know anything about my countries history. You don’t. Did we deserve to get bombed in the way the allies did? Yes, probably. Would the allies have been justified to slaughter civilians on a memorial like that? Fuck no.
Trumptards are more morally culpible than people who live in highly censored authoritarian countries, yet that doesn’t mean I want them to die. If you believe in reform for anyone, that should be obvious to you. If you disagree, might as well advocate for putting everyone who ever went to prison in a woodchipper.
Sorry, no sympathy for the people who want to kill me for just exisiting, propaganda or not.
Aight, sounds like something the Isreali rightwingers would say when blowing up civilians in Gaza to justify their actions…
It’s a memorial, not a parade. Your comment is scary.
Still is a memorial
Same difference. Only losers celebrate the military.
