At least 95 people were killed and over 200 injured after two explosions rocked a crowded memorial event in Kerman, Iran, on Wednesday. The ceremony marked the anniversary of the death of Qassem Soleimani, a high-profile military commander killed in a 2020 U.S. drone strike. Iranian state media reported the blasts occurred near his gravesite, with rescue teams still working amid fears of rising casualties. 💔
Local authorities called the incident a \"terrorist attack,\" though no group has claimed responsibility. Videos shared online showed chaotic scenes as crowds fled the area. Soleimani, once Iran’s top military strategist, remains a polarizing figure globally but a revered icon domestically. 🌍⚡
Analysts warn the attack could escalate regional tensions, already strained by conflicts in the Middle East. CGTN’s Ehsan Keivani reported live from the scene, highlighting the scale of the tragedy. As investigations unfold, the world watches closely for updates. 🔍
