More than 100 people were reported dead and scores were wounded when two explosions went off in Kerman, Iran, during commemorations of the death of Qasem Soleimani. A commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps' (IRGC) elite Quds force, Soleimani was killed in a U.S. air strike near Baghdad in January 2020. The double blast on January 3, with the explosions timed about 15 minutes apart, struck crowds who had gathered near Soleimani's grave site.
