The Kerman Martyr's Cemetery was targeted by two explosions claimed by the Islamic State.

The attack prompted strong condemnation from Iranian officials, including vows of retaliation and calls for mass protests. The United Nations Security Council condemned the attack, offering condolences to the victims' families and the Iranian government.
