The explosion occurred on the fourth anniversary of Soleimani’s death, who served in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from 1998 until his assassination by a US drone strike in Jan. 3, 2020. He was the commander of the Quds Force, an IRGC division primarily responsible for undercover military operations.
