Iran has pledged to retaliate against the responsible party for the destructive explosions, which allegedly claimed the lives of over 100 individuals during a commemorative event marking the fourth anniversary of the demise of Major General Qassem Soleimani, a renowned commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Quds Force, killed in a U.S. airstrike.
“The fear of the Zionist regime & its puppet terrorist groups of Martyr Soleimani led to another crime in Kerman during his commemoration ceremony,” the Iranian Mission to the United Nations said Wednesday in a statement posted on X.
“Iran will respond with fire & fury to the orchestrators, perpetrators, & anyone who’s aided & abetted in this terrorist attack,” the Mission added, Newsweek reported.
The remarks represent the most direct attribution by Iranian officials, pointing towards Israel as the likely perpetrator of the attack.
This development comes amid heightened tensions between the two nations, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
