Nearly 100 people were killed at a memorial in the city of Kerman
TEHRAN - The commander-in-chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said at the funeral on Friday for the victims of twin Islamic State bombings two days earlier that their deaths would be avenged.
Nearly 100 people were killed at a memorial in the city of Kerman on Wednesday for former top commander Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated in Iraq in 2020 by a US drone.
Islamic State said on Thursday that two of its members had detonated explosive belts in the crowd that had gathered at the cemetery in the southeastern city.
"We will find you wherever you are," Iranian Major-General Hossein Salami said at the funeral, referring to Islamic State.
