The United States denied involvement or Israel’s involvement in the two bombings in southern Iran near the shrine of Major General Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated four years ago in an American raid in Iraq.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters, “The United States is in no way involved (in the two bombings), and any statement to the contrary is ridiculous.”
He added: “We have no reason to believe that Israel is involved in this explosion.”
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei threatened the perpetrators of the two terrorist bombings with punishment. He said: “Everyone who participated in carrying out this crime will be punished, and they must know that this tragedy will be followed by a decisive response.”
