Kerman Martyr's Cemetery
The Kerman Martyr's Cemetery was targeted by two explosions claimed by the Islamic State. Nearly 100 people lost their lives, and approximately 284 individuals, including children, sustained injuries during a memorial gathering commemorating the fourth anniversary of the death of Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian commander assassinated by a U.S. drone in 2020. 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. While details about the attackers and their motives were not immediately established, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the explosions, with suspicions pointing to ISIS-Khorasan, the Islamic State's branch in neighboring Afghanistan, as a potential perpetrator.
