Israel has a different agenda. They target military, scientific, and political leaders. This sounds like a domestic attack.

But, like I said, Israel still caught the blame and Nasrallah is still alive, it appears. Which keeps me on the path of a false flag to pull Iran into the conflict. Either by their own doing or another state actor who would like to see the conflict widen and Iran more involved.
The Hamas angle is an interesting take although I wouldn't rule out Turkey, either, who hates Iran and has been having troubles with the US and Israel as of late. Erdogan could really benefit a few ways from this. Especially if he is behind this but can now rush in and act the peace-keeper OR handle Iran for his NATO "allies".

Explosions in Iran near Qasem Soleimani‘s burial site, at least 103 killed

Two explosions rocked Iran's south-central city of Kerman near the cemetery where slain Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Qasem Soleimani is buried, Iranian state media outlets reported.
Iranian officials have said that at least 103 people were killed and several hundred others injured.
“The incident is a terrorist attack,” Rahman Jalali, the deputy governor of Kerman province, told the state-run IRNA news agency.
The cause of the blast remains unknown, with unconfirmed reports saying gas canisters exploded on the road leading to Soleimani’s cemetery.

— Sulaiman Ahmed (@ShaykhSulaiman) January 3, 2024
US State Department spokesman Matt Miller denied the United States was "involved in any way" in the explosion. "Any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous," he said on Wednesday, adding that Washington has "no reason to believe that Israel was involved in this explosion."
Thousands of people were at the cemetery marking the fourth anniversary of his death, Mehr News Agency reported Wednesday, without adding more details.
Soleimani led the elite Quds Force of Iran's IRGC until he was killed in a US drone attack in Baghdad in 2020.
The explosion comes at a critical time in the region. On Tuesday, Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri was killed in what is widely believed to have been a drone strike that hit a building in southern Beirut where Palestinian officials were reportedly meeting. Five other members of Hamas were killed in the strike.
Arouri, the deputy head of the movement’s political bureau, was the main link between Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah. His death raises the risk of the Israel-Hamas war expanding to Lebanon and elsewhere in the region.
Iran-backed Hezbollah is already exchanging heavy fire with the Israeli military along the Israel-Lebanon border in a show of solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement on Tuesday, Hezbollah threatened to respond to Arouri’s death.
“We, Hezbollah, affirm that this crime will not go unanswered or unpunished,” the movement said, calling the Israeli strike “a dangerous development in the course of the war.”
Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah is due to deliver a speech on Wednesday.
This is a breaking story that will be updated.

Baluchis maybe. Kerman is located on the eastern side of Iran near where there is a Baluchi ethnic group in 'Sistan and Baluchistan' province that have been protesting abuse by Iranian authorities. Balochistan is also a province in Pakistan that has had troubles with their national authorities, too. In October 2022, about 82 Baluchi protesters and bystanders in eastern Iran were killed per this article from Amnesty International.

State Department says neither US nor Israel behind Iran blasts that killed over 100
Iranian leaders vow revenge for explosions near grave of IRGC’s Soleimani, don’t blame Israel, though some lower-level officials do; US official says it seems like ISIS responsible
By Agencies, ToI Staff and Jacob Magid
WASHINGTON, United States — The United States on Wednesday rejected any suggestion that it or its ally Israel was behind deadly blasts in Iran and warned against further escalation after a suspected Israeli attack on a Hamas leader in Lebanon.
At least 84 people died in southern Iran at the grave of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Qassem Soleimani, as mourners gathered exactly four years after he was killed in a US drone strike.
Iran’s leaders vowed revenge for the attack, though without openly accusing Israel. However, Iran’s deputy parliament speaker claimed it had the signs of an Israeli assault because it didn’t involve suicide bombers.

WASHINGTON, United States — The United States on Wednesday rejected any suggestion that it or its ally Israel was behind deadly blasts in Iran and warned against further escalation after a suspected Israeli attack on a Hamas leader in Lebanon.
At least 84 people died in southern Iran at the grave of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Qassem Soleimani, as mourners gathered exactly four years after he was killed in a US drone strike.
Iran’s leaders vowed revenge for the attack, though without openly accusing Israel. However, Iran’s deputy parliament speaker claimed it had the signs of an Israeli assault because it didn’t involve suicide bombers.
“The United States was not involved in any way, and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous,” US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said of Wednesday’s violence.
“We have no reason to believe that Israel was involved in this explosion,” he also said, expressing his condolences to the victims.
A senior administration official later briefing reporters said the attack was similar to previous ones carried out by ISIS. “That’s the going assumption at the moment.”
The blast on the anniversary of Soleimani’s assassination came one day after a suspected Israeli attack killed the deputy leader of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, Saleh al-Arouri, in the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut that are a stronghold of the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement.
Without explicitly confirming Israeli responsibility or backing the strike, Miller said that Arouri was a “brutal terrorist with civilian blood on his hands.”
But he warned against further escalation in the region.
“It is in no one’s interest — not in the interest of any country in the region, not in the interest of any country in the world — to see this conflict escalated any further than it already is,” he said.
Miller declined to assess who carried out the bomb attack in Iran.
Mojtaba Zolnouri, the deputy speaker of the Iranian parliament, blamed Israel.
“The non-suicidal nature of the terrorist attack in Kerman shows that it is an act of the Zionist regime,” he said according to a report from the UK’s Guardian newspaper. “We will punish the Zionist regime with a revenge that will have global operational value.”
The BBC’s Persian language website reported that Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber accused Israel of having a hand in the explosions, saying that “The agents of the Zionist regime” had spilled blood in the attack.
In addition, Kianush Jahanpur, the former spokesperson of Iran’s health ministry, wrote on social media that “The answer to this crime should only be in Tel Aviv, Haifa,” according to the report.
However, top-tier Iranian officials did not immediately accuse Israel of involvement.
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed a “harsh response.”
“The evil and criminal enemies of the Iranian nation once again created a disaster and martyred a large number of dear people in Kerman,” said Khamenei in a statement.
“This disaster will have a harsh response, God willing,” he said.
Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi also condemned the twin blasts.
“Undoubtedly, the perpetrators … of this cowardly act will soon be identified and punished for their heinous act by the capable security and law enforcement forces,” said Raisi in a statement.
“The enemies of the nation should know that such actions can never disrupt the solid determination of the Iranian nation,” he continued but also without specifying any particular entity.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Iran has in the past blamed Israel for attacks that were apparently carried out by domestic armed groups.
Yaron Bloom, a former senior officer in Israel’s Shin Bet security agency rejected any notion that Israel was behind the attack.
“There is no way that Israel would have carried out an attack like this. The attacks [in Iran] that are always blamed on Israel [by the Iranians] are surgical actions in which citizens are not hurt,” Bloom told Channel 12 news. “This is an attack characteristic of Islamic State.”
Iran has multiple foes who could be behind the assault, including exile groups, militant organizations, and state actors.
While Israel has carried out actions in Iran over its nuclear program, it has conducted targeted assassinations, not mass casualty bombings. Sunni extremist groups including the Islamic State group have conducted large-scale attacks in the past that killed civilians in Shiite-majority Iran, though not in relatively peaceful Kerman.
Iran also has seen mass protests in recent years, including those over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in 2022. The country also has been targeted by exile groups in attacks dating back to the turmoil surrounding its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
In September, the Fars news agency reported that a key “operative” affiliated with the Islamic State group, in charge of carrying out “terrorist operations” in Iran, had been arrested in Kerman.
In July, Iran’s intelligence ministry said it had disbanded a network “linked to Israel’s spy organization” which had been plotting “terrorist operations” across Iran, IRNA reported.
The alleged plots included “planning an explosion at the grave” of Soleimani, it said.
Soleimani, whom Khamenei years ago declared a “living martyr,” was widely regarded as a hero in Iran for his role in defeating IS in both Iraq and Syria.
Long seen as a deadly adversary by the United States and its allies, Soleimani was one of the most important powerbrokers across the region, setting Iran’s political and military agenda in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
Soleimaini led the IRGC’s Quds Force, a US-designated terrorist organization. He was himself designated a terrorist by the US in 2005 for orchestrating terrorist attacks and attempted attacks against US and other targets.

Suicide bombers are not even close to IDF or US methods. Way too risky for failure or interdiction, not to mention way too primitive and cruel

I don't care if it was Mossad or an Iranian sect. I have a visceral dislike...no, hatred, of bombers who target innocent civilians. It's the most cowardly form of attack I can think of. I'd have a lot more respect for bombers who'd taken out oil refineries or .mil installations. Laying bombs for civilians is like going into a hospital's neonatal unit and hitting all the helpless infants in the head with a ball peen hammer.
I think there's a special corner of Hell reserved for bombers.

Meet The Man Who Funds ISIS: Bilal Erdogan, The Son Of Turkey’s President
And while we patiently dig to find who the on and offshore “commodity trading” middleman are, who cart away ISIS oil to European and other international markets in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars, one name keeps popping up as the primary culprit of regional demand for the Islamic State’s “terrorist oil” – that of Turkish president Recep Erdogan’s son: Bilal Erdogan.
His very brief bio:
Necmettin Bilal Erdogan, commonly known as Bilal Erdogan (born 23 April 1980) is the third child of Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, the current President of Turkey.
After graduating from Kartal Imam Hatip High School in 1999, Bilal Erdogan moved to the US for undergraduate education. He also earned a Masters Degree in John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 2004. After graduation, he served in the World Bank as intern for a while. He returned Turkey in 2006 and started to his business life. Bilal Erdogan is one of the three equal shareholders of “BMZ Group Denizcilik “, a marine transportation corporation.

Not coming at you, Daniel. Just "fact checking"... It is a very popular post you quoted there so I can understand why you used it.
Of course there was no "State of Israel" during Albert Pike's lifetime ( Born December 29, 1809 - Died April 2, 1891).
Also, this letter, addressed to Giuseppe Mazzini describing the three world wars was supposedly written in 1871 and the term "Zionism/Zionist" did not originate until 1890 by the Jewish nationalist Nathan Birnbaum in his journal Selbstemanzipation.
Just like The Protocols of the Learned Elders Zion wasn't written by a Jewish secret society, while an accurate summation of a desired outcome by the communist/globalists, it just wasn't written by Albert Pike. Most likely, it was written by Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès otherwise known as Leo Taxil.
