Two terrorist attacks using explosive devices killed over 100 people and injured scores at a ceremony in Iran commemorating Qassem Soleimani, the top commander killed by a US drone in 2020. The explosions occurred during an anniversary event at the cemetery where Soleimani is buried. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Videos showed numerous bodies at the blast site, and the number of wounded is still being determined. The US assassination of Soleimani and Irans subsequent retaliation brought the two countries to the brink of conflict in 2020.
