It has been said to be the worst attack since the 1979 revolution.
More than 80 people were killed in the southeastern city of Kerman on Wednesday, when two explosives went off, during a crowded procession.
It happened during a ceremony marking four years since the US assassinated one of Iran's top Generals, Qassem Soleimani.
The attack is adding yet another layer of tension in the region.
There is Israel's war on Gaza. This week's assassination of a Hamas commander in Lebanon and now, this attack in Iran.
So, will the suspicions of different governments and armed groups, escalate the violence?
