Two explosions killed at least 103 people and wounded scores at a ceremony in Iran to commemorate top commander Qassem Soleimani who was killed in a 2020 U.S. drone attack, Iranian officials said on Wednesday. Iranian state television reported a first and then a second explosion during an anniversary event at the cemetery where Soleimani is buried in the southeastern city of Kerman. State TV showed Red Crescent rescuers attending to wounded people at the ceremony, where hundreds of Iranians had gathered to mark the anniversary of Soleimani's death. "A terrible sound was heard there, despite all the security and safety measures. We are still investigating," head of Kerman Red Crescent Society Reza Fallah said. "We are now evacuating the wounded and injured in the area. The crowd is huge and the job is quite hard, all the paths to there are blocked."
