Tensions are rising in the Middle East once again, but in Iran this time. Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani was killed by US forces in Baghdad in 2020, and two strikes by Israel near his grave killed 84 people recently. At least one of the strikes was caused by a bomb, and it took place in the city of Kerman. 84 people were killed and 284 were injured in the blasts, and the blame has been put on various groups. Some officials suspect a terrorist attack, while Iran has publicly put the blame squarely on Israel's shoulders. Israel declined to comment, which just fanned the flame even more.
