Nearly 100 people were killed at a memorial in the city of Kerman on Wednesday for former top commander Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated in Iraq in 2020 by a US drone.
ISIS said on Thursday that two of its members had detonated explosive belts in the crowd that had gathered at the cemetery in the southeastern city.
“We will find you wherever you are,” Iranian Major-General Hossein Salami says at the funeral, referring to Islamic State.
