Iran's Supreme Leader has promised a “harsh response” following two explosions in the country's south. The death toll has now been revised to at least 84. The blasts happened near the grave of top general Qassem Soleimani. Mourners had gathered for a ceremony marking four years since his assassination by the United States in a drone strike. The US has denied carrying out the attack in Iran and says it has seen no evidence of Israeli involvement.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Lebanon-based Hezbollah militia has promised retaliation over the killing of a top Hamas official in Beirut on Wednesday. Hezbollah blames Israel for the attack, although there has been no claim of responsibility. Israel generally doesn't comment on strikes in other countries, but officials have previously said they would target Hamas leaders wherever they are. Hamas is classified as a terrorist group by multiple countries.
