ISIS claimed responsibility Thursday for two suicide bombings targeting a commemoration for an Iranian general slain in a 2020 US drone strike. Experts who follow the group confirmed that the statement, circulated online among militants, came from the extremists, who likely hope to take advantage of the chaos gripping the region amid Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Wednesday's attack in Kerman killed at least 84 people and wounded another 284. It targeted a ceremony honoring Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
A purported claim of responsibility circulated online attributed the attack to the Islamic State group, though it could not be immediately verified by the AP.
