Iran to Decide When, Where to Take Revenge for Kerman Attack: President
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The time and location of reaction to the recent tragic terrorist attack in Iran’s Kerman will be determined by the Iranian Armed Forces, President Ebrahim Raisi said on Friday.
Addressing the funeral of 89 people that died in a terrorist attack in the southern city of Kerman on January 3, President Raisi said people constitute the Islamic Republic’s “most important component of power”.
The president noted that the enemies have already observed and experienced the magnitude of Iran’s power.
Regarding Iran’s revenge for the heinous terrorist attack in Kerman, Raisi gave an assurance that “the Iranian Armed Forces take the initiative and will determine the time and location” of the reaction.
The Wednesday's twin blasts at an event held in commemoration of the fourth anniversary of the martyrdom of late commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani resulted in the tragic loss of 89 lives, including 9 children, and left nearly 300 individuals injured, with some in critical condition.
Daesh (ISIS or ISIL) terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack on Thursday.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has warned that those behind the terrorist act will receive a severe response.
