On Wednesday, the US denied that its ally Israel or Washington was behind deadly blasts at the grave of Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in a US strike four years ago.
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller stated, “The United States was not involved in any way, and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous”.
“We have no reason to believe that Israel was involved in this explosion”, Miller added.
On Wednesday, Iran blamed Israel and the United States for twin bomb blasts that killed at least 95 people in the country’s south, ripping through a throng mourning Revolutionary Guards general Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in a US strike four years ago.
The two explosions dubbed a terrorist attack by state media and regional authorities, occurred amid high Middle East tensions over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and the Tuesday assassination of a Hamas senior leader in Lebanon.
The unclaimed strikes, which stoked fears of escalating conflict in the region, shook global markets, sending oil prices up more than three percent and sparking global criticism.
