Two explosions at Kerman ceremony marking anniversary of killing of Qassem Suleimani raise Middle East tensions further
More than 95 Iranians were killed and scores more injured in a terrorist attack at a ceremony in Iran to commemorate the assassination of a top general, further heightening tensions in the increasingly volatile Middle East.
The explosions came at a memorial ceremony in Iran marking the fourth anniversary of the killing of Qassem Suleimani, the head of Iran’s al-Quds force, and it was not clear whether either of Suleimani’s principal regional adversaries – Israel or Islamic State – were responsible for the carnage.
Iran’s new minister of interior, the hardliner Ahmad Vahidi, did not immediately attribute blame for the attack and no side claimed responsibility for the deadliest single terrorist incident since the Iranian Revolution in 1979. The US state department said it had no reason to believe Israel was involved.
An early death toll of 103 was revised down, but Iran’s health minister, Bahram Einollahi, said many of the wounded were in critical condition and the toll could rise.
Everything is the fault of the US (or “west” if we’re playing that game today) from the beginning to the end of time. When they’ve already decided what the answer is, all that’s left is to force the facts to fit the narrative.
When the entire global historical narrative is framed exclusively through the lens of the “west is bad” then you remove all agency from every other country. It’s a very dangerous and disingenuous tactic of rewriting history.
The brain wash is amazing. The terrorists straight up torture and murder people and people have the balls to justify it - “they were forced to do it”. That’s some next level delusion.
Israel tortures and murders far more than Hamas ever has. It’s not even remotely close.
Nah. You’re bringing out a math book or something? I’m an utilitarian and I agree Israel is piece of shit that should have never been brought into existence but Hamas and the whole martyrdom ideology is far FAAAR worse.
It’s one of the worst things on the planet. Objectively. No other culture is ok with dying to hurt random CIVILIANS. No other.
Just this fact alone should be enough to extinguish Hamas from the existence. Imagine what will happen when we are powerful society to the point where a few individuals can inflict massive damage (AI). Do we still allow religious martyrdom? How long do you think our society will last?
People are so fucking lost in this thread.
Just to get it out of the way fuck Hamas.
If no one else it’s OK with it, where did all of the dead children in Gaza come from?
If we were anywhere near as bad as they pretend, they’d be exporting radioactive glass instead of bullshit and finger-pointing.
How about we just stop flooding the Middle East with weapons?
Only if Russia and Iran agree and do it simultaneously.
Iran is part of the Middle East
You know they’re buying them willingly for their martyrdom wars right? It’s the same disgusting propaganda argument that says we shouldn’t arm Ukraine.
