ABC News Australia: Islamic State claims responsibility for deadly attack in Iran, as Tehran vows revenge
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings targeting a commemoration for an Iranian general slain in a 2020 US drone strike, the worst militant attack to strike Iran in decades as the wider Middle East remains on edge.
The militant group made the claim on social media. Wednesday's attack in Kerman killed at least 84 people and injured another 284.
It targeted a ceremony honouring Revolutionary Guard general Qassem Soleimani, held as an icon by supporters of the country's theocracy and viewed by the US military as a deadly foe who aided militants who killed American troops in Iraq.

what ever happened to the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Lawrence of Arabia was right. Just leave the Muslims alone, they will kill each other to a point of nauseum and not have any time from the west. But, we are such meddlers.
