Suicide bomber behind at least one Iran blast, state media says

One of the two blasts that killed dozens of people near the tomb of Iranian general Quassem Soleimani on the fourth anniversary of his assassination by the United States was caused by a suicide bomber, a state-run media outlet reported on Thursday.

The evaluation of video surveillance led investigators to the conclusion that a bomber was behind at least one of the explosions that hit the crowd in Soleimani's home city of Kerman on Wednesday, the IRNA news agency reported on Telegram, citing an unnamed source.
