Two explosions that killed nearly 100 people and wounded scores at a ceremony in Iran on Wednesday looked like a "terrorist attack" of the kind ISIS has been responsible for in the past, a senior Biden administration official said on Wednesday.

The official, speaking to reporters, said "it does look like a terror attack, the type of thing we've seen ISIS do in the past, and as far as we are aware that is kind of, I think, our going assumption at the moment."

Is the Biden administration official mocking Iran by suggesting ISIS did it ?

Jut like the Russians blew up their own pipeline! This one is a bit less idiotic but still just as utterly unbelievable. I know exactly who did this and so do you.

[frank ballenger]

There apparently is friction in Iran that has erupted between ISIS and the theocracy supporters.

But Israel will be unfairly blamed even if they’re innocent.

If this was done by ISIS, one can say that the “J.V. Team”
carried out a successful mission.

If I had to bet, I’d bet on Israel (of course). But on the other hand, Muslims just love to kill. And if there are no infidels around, they’ll just kill other Muslims.

Death cults are like that.

If this was done by ISIS, one can say that the “J.V. Team” carried out a successful mission.

They could always blame President Trump, since it was for a Soleimani memorial and Trump had him killed, with prejudice one might say, because Soleimani was responsible for American deaths, among others.

Some of their own evil came back to bite them in the butt

Are they dancing in the streets like they always do when Jews get blown up?

I’d bet on Israel

except, Israel doesn't bomb large crowds of civilians ... maybe because they had many such painful experiences during the Intifadas

Israeli strikes are targeted and surgical ... this one was large and messy

Don't forget, the Mullahs are already very unpopular inside Iran, and have a lot of enemies ...

> Israel doesn’t bomb large crowds of civilians ... <

That’s a fair point. On the other hand, chaos in Iran is good for Israel (and for the whole region). So, yeah. You might be right. Perhaps I’ll hedge my bets on this one.

On Jew-hating X, every tweet in my feed blames Israel and the US.

[metmom]

I guess I wasn’t the only one who suspected that then.

Good observation!

I made reference to the JV Team because that was what Obama called ISIS.

Mass murder is an intramural sport among muslims.

[sheik yerbouty]

Maybe the mullahs were lighting their fatwas..

[Mariner]

It is absolutely a terrorist attack.

Indisputably.

The only question is who did it?
