0:48Now PlayingWARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. More than 100 people were killed at an event honoring former Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani on Wednesday in what local authorities are calling a “terrorist” attack.
Thousands of Iranians had gathered at Soleimani’s gravesite in Kerman to mark the fourth anniversary of his death — carrying photos of the former head of the Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force when authorities say two bombs went off.
The first explosion occurred just 700 meters from Soleimani’s grave, while the second was a kilometer away, Iranian national media reports.
Graphic video shared online later showed the crowds running away as emergency crews responded to the scene, with bodies lying in the ground.
The footage suggested that the second blast occurred some 15 minutes after the first — a tactic often used by terrorist groups to target emergency responders and increase the death toll.
