What's known so far about the deadly explosions in Iran | DW News

Iran's Supreme Leader has vowed to carry out a 'harsh response' after twin explosions in the country's south killed over 100 people. There's been no claim of responsibility yet for the blasts, which happened near the grave of former top commander Qassem Soleimani. Several people were also reported wounded in a stampede that followed the blasts in the southeastern city of Kerman. Mourners had gathered for a ceremony to mark four years since Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq. The EU has condemned the explosions as an 'act of terror' and called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. The US has denied having any part and said it had no reason to believe Israel did either.
