The official, speaking to reporters, said "it does look like a terrorist attack, the type of thing we’ve seen ISIS do in the past, and as far as we are aware that is kind of, I think, our going assumption at the moment."
The ceremony was to commemorate commander Qassem Soleimani who was killed by a U.S. drone in 2020 ordered by then-President Donald Trump. No one claimed responsibility for the blasts.
