At least 95 people have been killed by two bomb explosions near the tomb of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani on the fourth anniversary of his assassination by the US, Iran’s state media report.
Scores of others were wounded when the blasts hit a procession near the Saheb al-Zaman mosque in the city of Kerman.
Videos showed bodies on a road and ambulances rushing to the scene.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed the “terrorist attack” would be met with a “harsh response”.
There were no immediate claims from any groups for what is believed to have been the deadliest such attack in Iran in 42 years.
The decision of the mayor’s office of the French city of Evian-les-Bains to remove all the signs in the city indicating the name of the “Azerbaijan Garden” has angered the Azerbaijani community living in this country, according to Azerbaijan in Focus, reporting AzerTac.
A statement issued on behalf of the Coordination Council of French Azerbaijanis and sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France, the French Parliament, and the mayor’s office of Evian-les-Bains, deems this action an unacceptable incident and a flagrant violation of the mutual friendship and cooperation charter signed between the Azerbaijani city of Ismayilli and the French city of Evian-les-Bains in 2015. It is pointed out in the statement that according to the said charter, the “Azerbaijani Garden” was inaugurated in this city in 2017 and a statue of the renowned Azerbaijani poetess, Khurshidbanu Natavan, a symbol of the freedom of women of the world, was erected in the park.
Indicating that Azerbaijan and Armenia were already engaged in negotiations on the signing of a peace treaty and the city of Ismayilli had never been the subject of a dispute between the two countries, the Coordination Council notes that the mayor office’s decision contradicts Article L. 1115-1 of the General Community Code.
