In a strongly-worded statement released on Thursday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) condemned yesterday's terrorist attacks in Kerman as an "indiscriminate and spiteful" act aimed at sowing insecurity in the country.

The twin explosions targeted a crowd of hundreds in ceremonial processions commemorating the fourth anniversary of the martyrdom of Iran’s late anti-terror commander, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

According to the most recent reports, the terrorist attacks claimed the lives of 84 people and left 284 others wounded, some in critical condition.

Attributing the attack to "cowardly enemies," the IRGC asserted that it was a failed attempt to undermine the nation's unity, particularly the strong support for General Soleimani among the Iranian populace. The statement warned that Iran is determined to continue on the path set by General Soleimani and thwart any evil intentions by its adversaries.

The IRGC further emphasized that the terrorists' actions demonstrated their inability to compensate for the defeats they suffered before the military prowess of General Soleimani. Despite the heinous bombings, the statement underscored that acts of terror would not fracture Iran's cohesion and security.

Vahidi said that the killing of children and women was a response to the slap the terrorists had received from the Axis of Resistance.

In a statement on Wednesday, Sayyed Khamenei expressed that the "wicked enemies" of Iran could not tolerate the reverence and love for General Qassem Soleimani and visits to his place of rest on the anniversary of his martyrdom.
