In a solemn response to one of Iran's deadliest attacks since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iranian security forces have arrested 11 suspects across six Iranian provinces linked to the bomb blasts in Kerman. The twin blast hit crowds at a memorial ceremony near the tomb of Qasem Soleimani, a top Revolutionary Guards general killed in a US drone strike in Iraq in January 2020. The attack claimed nearly 90 lives on Wednesday. The Islamic State militant group has taken responsibility for the attacks, marking a grim resurgence of violence in the region.
