A senior official called the blasts a 'terroristic' attack, without saying who could be behind them. Eyewitnesses spoke of two explosions 10 minutes apart in the south-central city of Kerman, while some spoke of four explosions. Suleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad in 2020 and was seen as the leader directing Iranian proxy forces in Iraq and Syria.
