Dozens killed in twin blasts near slain Iran commander’s grave

 At least 95 people were killed in Kerman, Iran, following twin blasts near the burial site of slain military commander Qasem Soleimani, in what officials called a terror attack. The blasts, which occurred on the fourth anniversary of Soleimani's death in a US air strike, threaten to accelerate tensions in the region that have spiked since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Iranian Health Minister Bahram Eynollahi revised the death toll down to 95 and reported 211 people injured. Some of the injured are in critical condition, and there is a possibility of the death toll rising. No group has claimed responsibility for the blasts, but Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi blamed Israel for the explosions, warning it will pay a "heavy price." The US State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said the US does not have any independent information about the explosions and has "no reason to believe that Israel was involved." Iran declared Thursday a day of mourning following the blasts and Raisi canceled his upcoming trip to Turkey.
