Islamic State Takes Responsibility for Deadly Bombings in Iran - The New York Times
The Islamic State announcement dovetailed with American intelligence assessment indicating that the attack, which killed 84 people, was most likely the work of the group.
Now all we need is for the CIA to take responsibility for the Islamic State and the circle of life (and death) is complete.
Where are all the Lemmings who were so quick to blame Israel for this, then? Or are they too busy pretending to be shocked that baseless assumptions are often wrong?
Ok then smart guy, what if the Jews have actually been the ones behind the Islamic State this entire time? Think about it bro
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Islamic State claimed responsibility on Thursday for the bombing attack that killed 84 people in Kerman, Iran, on Wednesday, according to a post on the extremist group’s official Telegram account.
The Islamic State’s claims also contrasted with initial Iranian reports that the bombs had been placed in two bags and remotely detonated along the road to the cemetery in Kerman, in which thousands of people taking part in the commemoration were walking.
“The blind and spiteful act was to induce insecurity in the country and take revenge on the love and devotion of the great nation of Iran, especially the zealous young generation, to the martyr Qassim Suleimani,” read a Thursday statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, according to Fars, another semiofficial news agency.
The Revolutionary Guard Corps is the powerful military-security apparatus where General Suleimani was a top officer, heading the elite Quds Force, which handled external operations.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for several previous attacks on Iran, including most recently in October 2022, when a gunman killed 13 people at a shrine in the city of Shiraz.
The commemoration ceremony was held to mark the fourth anniversary of General Suleimani’s assassination in an American drone strike at Baghdad airport in January 2020.
