The deadly crush of mourners came at the end of the funeral procession that started in Baghdad Saturday.
A funeral procession for slain Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani was marred Tuesday when a stampede in Soleimani’s hometown killed at least 32 people and injured dozens more. The procession began Saturday in Baghdad, making multiple stops in Iraq before hopscotching around Iran, finally arriving in the influential commander’s hometown of Kerman in southeastern Iran on Tuesday.
The deadly stampede came a day after Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who wept at Soleimani’s massive state funeral in Tehran Monday,upon the Iranian government’s National Security Council to take open and direct military action against the U.S. in response to the killing of his close friend and ally.
The Trump administration, meanwhile, has reportedly blocked Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif from entering the U.S. to address the U.N. Security Council. Foreign Policy
