This just broke
Iranian authorities have arrested a number of suspects in relation to the blasts that killed 89 people at the grave of General Qassem Soleimani on Wednesday in the city of Kerman, Iranian media reported.
Deputy Interior Minister Majid Mirahmadi said five people had been arrested in five different provinces, according to state news agency IRNA and semi-official agency Tasnim.
The news of the arrests, provided without further information, came as the victims of those attacks — which were claimed by the so-called "Islamic State" (IS) — were laid to rest.
Iranian media reported that 30 of the victims had been under the age of 18, and nine were 10 or younger.
Iran still pointing the finger at US and Israel
The funeral for Wednesday's victims took place at the Emam Ali mosque in Kerman, with President Ebrahim Raisi in attendance.
