On the fourth anniversary of the death of the powerful Iranian general Ghassem Soleimani, more than 80 people were killed in two huge explosions in his hometown of Kerman near the grave site on Wednesday. Iran’s government spoke of a terrorist attack. Initially, no group claimed responsibility for the alleged attack. The federal government and the EU condemned the attack as an act of terror. It was the deadliest attack in the 45-year history of the Islamic Republic. Many questions remain unanswered.
