Iran blames Israel for twin blasts in Kerman that left over 100 dead ::::: “Israel does not strike just for the sake of striking,....."

“I warn the Zionist regime, do not doubt that you will pay a heavy price for this crime and the crimes you have committed,” Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi said in a televised speech from Tehran. Raisi, who is the head of the Iranian government, warned that Israel’s punishment will be “regrettable and severe.”



TEHRAN - Israel razed Gaza to the ground, induced famine in the enclave, and even killed its own hostages while trying to take revenge for its egregious defeat on October 7. However, despite the loss of over 22,000 Palestinian lives, Israel's thirst for violence remains unquenched, prompting the regime to seek out new victims.


And what better place to initiate a fresh wave of bloodshed than the birthplace of the mastermind behind the Axis of Resistance?, reports 'Tehran Times'.









Soleimani was killed in a US airstrike in January 2020.

The blasts, at least one of which was caused by a bomb, state TV said, came on the fourth anniversary of Soleimani’s death in a US air strike, and threatens to accelerate tensions in the region that have spiked since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

The first explosion was 2,300 feet (700 meters) from Soleimani’s grave, and the second was 0.6 miles (1 kilometer) away as pilgrims visited the site, IRNA added.

Soleimani was killed by a US airstrike ordered by former President Donald Trump at Baghdad International Airport four years ago Wednesday.



The explosions have been confirmed as terrorist attacks, resulting in a staggering toll of 103 individuals who lost their lives and over 180 people sustaining injuries.


Within an hour after the attacks, accounts associated with the Israeli regime began to rejoice at the loss of lives on X. “People found a creative way to celebrate his assassination,” callously wrote Hananya Naftali, an Israeli living in the occupied territories who previously announced he was taking part in the regime’s ground offensive in Gaza, by posting a picture of himself in military attire. 


Yossi Cohen, the former head of Mossad, reacted to the tragic attacks by stating that “A cold and dry winter” lay ahead of Iran. Another account associated with Mossad also seemed to confirm Israel’s involvement in the terrorist act claiming that “Israel does not strike just for the sake of striking, but only for the purpose of thwarting a threat”.





Why were civilians targeted near Gen. Soleimani’s burial site?

It's no secret that Israel suffered a significant military, security, and intelligence setback at the hands of Hamas resistance forces on October 7. In an abrupt attempt to recuperate from this substantial defeat, the regime initiated unprecedented attacks on the Gaza Strip and exacerbated the plight of its 2.3 million inhabitants by depriving them of basic necessities such as food, water, and medication.





While the regime's inability to anticipate the highly skilled operation conducted by Hamas in the occupied territories was evident, its assessment of its own military capabilities—or lack thereof—proved to be equally flawed. Despite more than three months of conflict in Gaza, the regime has failed to dismantle any of Hamas's strongholds, all the while enduring thousands of casualties. 

Concurrently, global sentiment towards the regime is souring, with increasing calls from Western populations for their governments to cease funding Israel's lethal campaign in Gaza, says 'Tehran Times' report.




In a message sent to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his deepest condolences, condemning the attack.       


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a statement expressing his deep sorrow and sympathy for the victims of the attack. "We are very sorry for the heinous terrorist attacks in Kerman province of Iran. May God have mercy on those who lost their lives in these attacks and I wish the injured a speedy recovery," Erdogan said.


Iraq's National Wisdom Movement leader, Seyyed Ammar al-Hakim, also condemned the attack and called for the international community to unite against terrorism. "I strongly condemn the terrorist act which resulted in the martyrdom of dozens of Iranians," Hakim said. "I ask Almighty God for mercy and forgiveness for the martyrs and healing and health for the injured."


The Islamic Jihad organization also condemned the terrorist attack, offering condolences to the Iranian people and calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. "Such a vicious attack on innocent people will increase the unity of the nations of the Islamic Ummah and their adherence to resistance," the organization said.
