US Intelligence Confirms ISIS-K Behind Iran Bombings

Iranian Officials Blame Israel and US, Arrest 11 in Connection with the Attack

Iranian officials, including President Ebrahim Raisi, have blamed Israel and the United States for the recent suicide bombings in Kerman, Iran, that killed 89 people, without providing evidence for their claims.
US intelligence has reportedly obtained communication intercepts confirming that the Afghanistan-based branch of the Islamic State (ISIS-K) was behind the bombings, according to anonymous sources.
The bombings targeted a commemoration for Guard General Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a 2020 US drone strike.
Iranian officials have arrested 11 people in connection with the attack and seized explosive devices and vests.
The bombings have sparked international condemnation and deepened instability in the Middle East.
