The Iranian media claims twin blasts by the grave of Revolutionary Guards general Qasem Soleimani killed over 100 people and injured at least 141.
We don’t know who set off the blasts. I imagine Iran will try to blame Israel or America because, supposedly, whoever did it detonated the bombs remotely.
People gathered at Soleimani’s grave to mark the fourth anniversary of his death.
President Donald Trump ordered the drone strike in 2020 that killed Soleimani.
Soleimani caused many problems in the Middle East:
A 2013 New Yorker profile quoted John Maguire, a former CIA officer in Iraq, describing him as “the single most powerful operative in the Middle East today.” The piece said that since he took over the Quds Force, whose numbers it put at 10,000-20,000, Soleimani “has sought to reshape the Middle East in Iran’s favor, working as a power broker and as a military force: assassinating rivals, arming allies, and, for most of a decade, directing a network of militant groups that killed hundreds of Americans in Iraq.”
Defense officials said Soleimani’s goons caused “at least U.S. deaths in Iraq.”
Soleimani hated Israel and the Jews. He supported and armed Hamas and Hezbollah.
