Iran denies receiving warning from US ahead of ISIS bombings which killed 95 people
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran has denied that the US government issued a warning to Tehran about last month’s ISIS bombing ahead of time, Hebrew media outlet Ynet reports.
According to an anonymous US official earlier this week, the US informed Tehran about the intentions of the Afghanistan branch of ISIS, ISIS-Khorasan, to carry out suicide bombings in Kerman days before the attack occurred.
Speaking to state-affiliated media, however, an Iranian official rejected the claim that they received a warning from the US, Ynet reports.
The attack in Kerman was carried out during a commemoration for the late Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the leader of the Revolutionary Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force, and killed 95 people and wounded dozens of others.
