“ Two explosions minutes apart Wednesday in Iran targeted a commemoration for a prominent general slain in a U.S. drone strike in 2020, killing at least 103 people and wounding at least 141 others as the Middle East remains on edge over Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.”
….
“ The blasts struck an event marking the the fourth anniversary of the killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Revolutionary Guard's elite Quds Force. who died in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq in January 2020. The explosions occurred near his grave site in Kerman.”
…
“ Footage suggested that the second blast occurred some 15 minutes after the first. A delayed second explosion is often used by militants to target emergency personnel responding to the scene and inflict more casualties.”

long overdue in my opinion. I have long wondered why we don’t target demonstrations and funerals by terrorists.
I mean... there they all are! all gathered up in one spot mourning the loss of their fellow terrorist! Seems like the perfect opportunity to take out MORE terrorists and their sympathizers!
It’s just possible that the smoldering Iranian resistance may be growing, getting some help also.
I’ll have a Coke.
I’m surprised John Kerry wasn’t there too paying his respects.
A target rich environment? If it wasn’t Mossad, maybe it was Iranian opposition group(s)????
unlike our government, Israel doesn’t mess around with those who have wronged them. They hunt them down to the ends of the earth and kill them, even if it takes decades.
Darn the luck!
Sure it’s a good start but it’s just escalation, an excuse for Iran to retaliate and to continue the cycle of never ending violence. The world is caught in an endless loop of rerun violence and destruction, this is war now, it will never end.
Like Munich? Maybe they can call this Operation: Wrath of God 2. 🤔
Israel knows that Hamas has been armed, financed and inspired by Iran. For the Iranian leaders behind Hamas and those directing and resupplying the Houthis, attending this cemetery demonstration was no doubt a must attendance to show their faces. The Israelis saw a great opportunity and took it. Will be interesting to see if Houthi activity diminishes in the coming weeks. John Kerry is definitely in mourning.
Israel does not go around planting bombs at funerals killing 100+ Israel. No, they don’t. but anti-government groups might.
May they rest in pieces
I’m passing out candy around the house...
“...this is war now, it will never end.”
My FRiend, it’s been war for a long time already.
Oh, it can end as we ended WWII. The difference is we have a cowardice public and a corrupt Government that has conditioned its puppet public to be weak in the site of violence. Want to end a war before it even starts? Lay waste to those who wish to cause you harm. Enough with the retaliatory strikes. Go on the offensive until they beg you to stop on their knees.
