Iran Vows Revenge Against Israel, US for Beirut Assassination, Twin Bombings at Gravesite

By The Editor

JERUSALEM, Israel – Threats of revenge are echoing from Iran after twin blasts at a memorial ceremony there on Wednesday. It occurred a day after the assassination of a senior Hamas terrorist leader in Lebanon.

Iran blamed Israel and the U.S. for the two explosions that killed more than 100 people at a service commemorating Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force Commander Qassam Soleimani, who was killed four years ago in a U.S. drone strike. The IRGC-Quds Force is a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, and Soleimani was its mastermind.

In front of a crowd shouting “death to America” and “death to Israel,” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called the bombings a “barbaric act” against innocent people. He continued, “I warn the Zionist regime: without doubt, for this crime and the other crimes you commit, you will pay a price that will make you regret badly.”

U.S. State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller claimed it’s too early to know who was behind the twin explosions in the city of Kerman, southeast of Tehran.

“The United States was not involved in any way,” Miller stated. “Any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous. And number two, we have no reason to believe that Israel was involved in this explosion.”
