War warning? Iran accuses Israel of deadly explosions: You will pay a heavy

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi blamed Israel for the two deadly blasts during a memorial ceremony in southeastern Iran on Wednesday. The explosions near the grave of military commander Qasem Soleimani occurred on the fourth anniversary of his death in a US airstrike.

"I warn the Zionist regime: Do not doubt that you will pay a heavy price for this crime and the crimes you have committed," Raisi said in a televised speech. Raisi, who is the head of the Iranian government, also warned that Israel's punishment will be very severe.

The Israeli military told CNN it had no comment on the explosions in Iran. No group has claimed responsibility for the blasts, which Iran has called a "terrorist attack."

US State Department spokesman Matt Miller told reporters on Wednesday that the United States "has no independent information" about the bombings and that the State Department "has no reason to believe that Israel was involved." ".

At least 95 people and dozens more were injured by the blasts. The death toll was initially reported as 103, but Iran's health minister said some names were accidentally recorded twice.
