YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

ISIS has taken credit for a double suicide bomb attack Wednesday that killed at least 84 people at a ceremony honoring Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani on the fourth anniversary of his death.

The fundamentalist terror group issued a Telegram statement Thursday taking credit for the carnage in the city of Kerman, which marked the Islamic Republic’s worst terror attack in decades as unrest spreads across the Middle East.

Experts who confirmed the statement believe the extremists were trying to take advantage of regional instability triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack against Israel.

They speculated ISIS may be trying to expand Israel’s war in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip by targeting the ceremony honoring Soleimani, who was killed by a US airstrike in Baghdad early in 2020.
