By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Iran’s leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed a “harsh response” to a bomb attack on crowds marking the anniversary of spymaster Qasem Soleimani’s assassination by the US.
The attack in southern Iran claimed 84 lives and wounded many more.
According to BBC, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
“Cruel criminals must know that they will be strongly dealt with from now on and undoubtedly there will be a harsh response,” Khamenei said.
President Ebrahim Raisi’s political deputy, Mohammad Jamshidi, blamed Israel and the US.
The United States has since indicated that it had no reason to believe Israel was involved and dismissed any suggestion that Washington was involved.
The attack on Wednesday comes amid heightened tensions in the region after the deputy leader of the Iran-backed Palestinian group, Hamas, was killed in an apparent Israeli drone strike in Lebanon.
Local reports show that large crowds were taking part in a procession along a road lined with banners featuring Qasem Soleimani when the explosions happened.
