Iran leader vows harsh response to deadly bombings that killed 84 | BBC News

Iran is holding a day of mourning for the nearly 100 people killed in two explosions in the Southeastern city of kman which have further raised tensions in the Middle East the blasts came as hundreds of Iranians gathered to Mark the anniversary of the death of CM suami Iran’s top military commander who was

Killed by a us drone in 2020 crowds fled after two bags containing explosives were detonated remotely at the entrance to the cemetery it remains unclear who was behind the bombings Iran has blamed Israel and the US for the attack but that’s been dismissed as irresponsible by Washington here’s Iran’s president Ibrahim

RI I warn the Zionist regime do not have doubt you will pay the price for this crime and all the crimes you committed which will be very regretable Iran’s president Ibrahim RI there and the us has as I said denied any involvement and says there’s nothing to suggest that Israel was behind the

Attack have a listened to the National Security spokesperson John Kirby responding to a reporter’s question at the White House briefing we have no indication at this time at all that Israel was involved in any way whatsoever no indication but just to be clear you don’t think did

They support or assist in in some other way I I would I’m not going to speak for another Nation I would just tell you that we have no indication that Israel was in any way involved in this National Security spokesperson John Kirby there well Professor Sahar Ravi is

A director of the Iranian and Middle Eastern studies Center at California State University and she told us that today will be a very difficult day I think that we can expect a response from Iran of course it’s not surprising that the president and the supreme leader have blamed Israel and the United States

Uh not just because of the situation in Gaza at the moment but also because of everything that has led here and the ongoing tensions between Israel and uh and Iran so I expect a response certainly uh I think that the days to come could inch us closer to a regional

Conflict that could go much wider than it is now and certainly I’m very concerned about what’s going to happen next I think it is a given that we will see a response um when after solmani himself was killed Iran vowed a response and the response came but it came at a

Time that there were no service members at the base in Iraq and people were not killed so it was a more symbolic act than it was an act of warfare uh we don’t know at this point who is responsible I think it’s far too early

For us to be able to come to any kind of responsible conclusions but I think it’s um it’s quite possible that there will be more of an escalation it is also possible that there will be a strategic or symbolic act that is meant to send a message without engulfing the entire

Region in a in a wider War

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed a “harsh response” to a bomb attack on crowds marking the anniversary of spymaster Qasem Soleimani’s assassination by the US.

The attack in Kerman in southern Iran killed 84 people and wounded many more.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

President Ebrahim Raisi’s political deputy, Mohammad Jamshidi, blamed Israel and the US. However the US said it had no indication that Israel was involved and dismissed any suggestion that Washington was involved.

  1. Oh for fucks sake BBC, please stop using the word 'DEADLY' in almost all of your sodding headlines. Maybe send your inept and clueless journalists back to school to learn to use a new word or just buy a dictionary/thesaurus.

  2. Man those people sure know how to take their time when it comes to revolution. Like does anyone in Iran like the government there? Crazy how some people are subjected to live under a theocratic dictatorship

  4. Neither the US not Israel is involved in this. Nor was the US involved at the Maidan or with the creation of ISIS. And they also didnโ€™t fight Irak, they only went in there in a Special Military Operation ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜‚ how could anybody think the US is involved ??!

  5. What is Iran going to do? Actually go to war with ISIS? Nope. They'll give ISIS weapons. It's already been stated that ISIS claimed responsibility. Iran doing it's usual, claiming the big boogieman USA and Israel doing things that Iran would do to themselves. Awesome.

  6. All those who blamed israel and the US look like absolute dummies now ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ inc iran ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ all you blaming the US lol ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  7. Did the BBC just say deadly and bombings ? Shouldnโ€™t we make our own judgement on that ? Stick to being unapologetically vague BBC or people will start to take you seriously.

  8. Local Iranians are saying it's probably the Iranians' government! Remember that they had orphans marching through mine Fields,, in front of soldiers during the Iran-Iraq conflict! (Yeah, religious guys were involved!) Google pics?๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  9. If it was the US they would have just rolled right in with a reaper drone and said f*** yeah we did..
    People do realize there is a Civil War in Iran right the Sunni's and Shia's…

  10. Their women had enough of them and the people of Iran had enough with the regime. So, the people want change in Iran they know about their dictator leader, now they had turned against the dictator rules, not Israel or the west.

  11. Start crying and keep crying. Iran has been supporting all the terrorist groups in middle eastern countries. Including hamas. It's sad that innocent people dies. But Iranian President should have taken the hit instead of the innocent citizens.

  12. My condolences to innocent people who aren't involved in terrorism. Did Iran's governments forgot to send the paycheck to one of their terrorist group?
