  1. امریکہ مردہ باد

  2. Are they giving out candy today in Palestine?
    I don’t think so.

  3. Big conspiracy and responsible are Israelis UK and USA they are the only countries who don't want peace but only thrive on war and war crimes the are partners in crime!!!!

  4. Israel is a terrorist company not a country 👍
    Free Palestine 🇵🇸
    Pray for Palestine 🇵🇸
    Stand with Palestine 🇵🇸

  5. as an Iranian i want to say that the regime wanted this, because nobody cares about iran or that general that was buried there
    but if you make a blast like that, then all the world would understand, then they check the news and they see people supporting the regime, while its not true, that was just a minority whose job is to attend and help propaganda

  6. They really trying to provoke Iran to start the end times war mentioned in Daniel

  7. At least this is happening in their own country. So many times Iran blows up other countries.

  8. Islamic Jannat OVERCROWDED with Jihadis.😂

  9. Probably one of their own.

  10. Stop this planet spinning I want to get off

  11. Crudely made but deadly bombs placed in crowded places look more of the bombing signature from ISIS , which in loggerheads with Tehran , Iran!

  12. Esto es un atentado terrorista de israel

  13. Long live iran 🇮🇷 v sad news 😢

  14. 🇮🇱❤🇮🇱❤🇮🇱❤🇮🇱❤🇮🇱❤🇮🇱❤🙏

  15. I suspect IS. Accusing Israel is just a loser explanation. They have no reason to attack civilians. They are out for organization leaders.

  16. AIPAC controlled Trump did this

  17. The educated mi d ..would say Iran did it ..just to start a war

  18. The regime planted the bombs against its ow people as it has done in the past to solidify its shaky internal security, more internal repression and rally the crows around the Iranian flag since it knows people are going to boycott the elections. The regime lacks popular support within, so it is fabricating phony external enemies. Proof: there is not a single high ranking officer, government official or even the family members of Sulleimani among the dead or the wounded!

  19. NO TO ISLAMISTS!!
    NO TO MULLAH REGIME!!
    GLORY FOR PEACE AND DEMOCRACY!!!

  20. It is unlikely new militant starting this. Also, even if Israel involves why they want to admit. World is in a big mess now.

  21. When will the Middle East and the Arabs enjoy security? When will the Arab and Muslim children sleep in peace? Leave all of Asia alone. Leave them. Leave them. We want peace. We want safety. You, the West, attack us with slogans of peace and security, and we have not seen anything from you except killing, plundering, and conspiracies at the expense of our lives. Leave them and leave from All Asian countries.. Every day our hatred for the West’s rulings increases. Do you know why? Watch the news. Come to our countries and live our lives and you will know why we say we hate your governments.

  22. Iran been killing people for decades that same way and now it’s coming back home .

  23. Keep it Simple with the Million 💰 Question 🙋 WHO benefits the most with this “explosion” 💥 and you have the CULPRIT ‼️

  24. US backed Israeli terrorists attack iran😢

  25. No way…Iran chanting death to the US? Say it ain’t so.🤣🤣

  26. King reza pahlavi ✌️ 👑

  27. This is like what Hamas is doing to the people of Gaza, Qatar is supporting Hamas, England and Western countries are supporting the Islamic Republic.

  28. Iran has a considrerable number of native jews and a few parshis. Also there are many who have anguish against the present ayatollah who is not someone of the ahle-bayt nor has been assigned by the ahle-bayt instead elected through democracy or voting which itself is a process forbidden by quranic verse 6:116, 12:103 and 106, and has again and again gone against the quranic verse 10:99, 2:256.

  29. Israel and america together made these explotions.

  30. Death is always a terrible news. But in the instance case some how the heart & mind not willing to be sympathetic unfortunately. It's a Karmic retribution for the kind of brutality which this crazy Ayatollah and his crazy people (including the crazy one in the grave) have inflicted on the world and continue to inflict. Sense and sensibility are alien here.

  31. No country in the entire world involved themselves directly in the Russo Ukrainian conflict because of nuclear threat from russia.Everyone has to remind themselves that Israel is a nuclear power too.

  32. Isreal did it to get USA involved. Isreali killed thousands of children by bomb and snipers shooting babies on their parents arms. And you think isreal didn’t made terrorist attack on Iran killing civilians 100%

  33. Prayers and condolences to the families and people affected 🙏 😢 to the ones that were injured i wish you good health and a strong recovery

  34. Guess what,terror mentality brings more terror.
    Surprise….!!!

  35. Sooner or later, we all have to dance with the devil

  36. Imagine 4 years ago, election year, America killed Soleimani and we know how the people reacted to it, like we were going to war.
    Now 4 years after, 2024 and yes election year, this happened.

  37. What is hilarious, sorry it is, is that they blame the evil America… on Twitter and Facebook. Human Stupidity is like the univers, it has really no limits. "A. Enstein"

  38. Are we supposed to tolerate and respect Iran, even though they're chanting for death to my fellow Americans and Israel allies?

  39. They were the mercenaries of Islamic regime. They were killed by the Islamic State to condemn Israel and the Islamic State's opponents, and intensify repression in Iran.The mullahs' regime and the IRGC have no mercy even on their mercenaries😂😂😂 2:45

  40. Best make sure the Iranian government isn't responsible.

  41. Those who gathered in Kerman for the anniversary of the death of Qasem Soleimani, were not the Iranian people, they were mercenaries of the Islamic government
