Death Toll Rises to 91 in Islamic State-Claimed Bombings in Iran

Twin suicide bombings targeted a memorial ceremony for former Revolutionary Guards chief Qasem Soleimani.

Twin suicide bombings occurred during a memorial ceremony near the tomb of Qasem Soleimani, former chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, resulting in at least 91 deaths.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that two of its members had 'activated their explosive belts' amidst the crowd.
One of the suicide bombers was identified as a Tajik national, while the identity of the second attacker remains under investigation.
Iranian authorities have arrested 11 suspects across six provinces in connection with the attack.
The attack is the deadliest in Iran since 1978, when over 370 individuals died in a cinema fire in Abadan.
