The terrorists responsible for the attack are named as Omar al-Muwahid and Sayfullah al-Mujahid.

The blasts, about 15 minutes apart, struck near the Martyrs Cemetery at the Saheb al-Zaman Mosque in Kerman, Soleimani’s southern hometown, as supporters gathered to mark his death in a 2020 US drone strike in Baghdad.

Following the devastating bombing, Iran vowed to “hunt down terrorists” and initially blamed Israel for killing of 103 people.

Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a statement on Wednesday, saying: “”Cruel criminals must know that they will be strongly dealt with from now on and undoubtedly there will be a harsh response.”

Iran’s political deputy, Mohammad Jamshidi, blamed the parade bombings in Iran on both the US and Israel.
