More Than 100 Killed in Terror Attack in Iran Near General Soleimani's Grave
PJ Media ^ | 01/03/2023 | Rick Moran

Posted on 01/03/2024 9:10:26 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Two bombs exploded in the middle of a procession at an Iranian cemetery that commemorated the death of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a drone attack ordered by Donald Trump on Jan. 3, 2020. At least 103 people were killed and 171 injured. Dozens more are in critical condition, and the death toll is expected to rise.

Soleimani, one of the top Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders, was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American service people in Iraq and the Middle East.

It's unknown if an explosion in the suburbs of Beirut on Tuesday that killed several high-ranking Hamas leaders was related.

Soleimani built several terrorist organizations across the Middle East and achieved hero status among Iranian supporters throughout the region.

......

Many thousands were marching in the procession. The Times reports that most of the casualties came from the second explosion after marchers rushed to help the injured from the first blast.

Iran has declared Thursday an official day of mourning

The Wall Street Journal reports that people "familiar with Israeli operations" have said that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told other nations that Israel was not responsible.

Indeed, it doesn't track. Mossad has never carried out a mass casualty attack that killed dozens of innocent people. (It has hit a specific target that created some collateral damage but nothing on this scale.) That's not to absolve Israeli intelligence from carrying out the attack. We still don't know if some high-ranking Hamas or Hezbollah leader wasn't the primary target, in which case that might have changed the calculus.

Soleimani's influence is still being felt today.

I’m surprised they scraped up enough Salami to bury

There has been speculation that this might be a disagreement between the mullahs and ISIS, aka Sunnis vs. Shias. When they’re not killing infidels they’re killing each other.

Many of those assembled and killed were no doubt people who were directing Iran’s Hamas and Houthi operations. Will be interesting to see if Houthi activity diminishes in the near future.

I’m guessing that it’s a false flag to justify Iran being directly involved in the war with Israel.

The POS has been dead for 4 years. How many people get yearly visits at their grave? Especially for someone so evil? I figure most of those taken out are the kind of people who the world is better off without them. So who killed them? Just about anybody who hates evil.

If you’re a Terrorist and kill people it’s a “Terrorist attack”.

If you kill Terrorists in an attack shouldn’t it be called something else?

There is a delicious irony in the adherents of a master terrorist falling victim to terrorism. Iran has stepped on so many toes, and gone out of its way to make so many enemies, they don’t know whom to blame. It’s almost like they want to be hated.

Obviously the two bombs were far too small. Hopefully they do better next time.

Retribution, justice, karma...take your pick.

I saw photos of him after he went to bits and pieces. Saved them. Could not post them on Facebook as they keep blocking me as they are afraid of “offending” the fainthearts.

I think the mafia used to do the same at funerals.

“Nice to hear some uplifting news .”

You ain’t kidding!

Lately reading FR has been downright depressing.
