Violent explosions have been heard in Iran, and the outside world has pointed the finger of suspicion at Israel.
1. A series of sudden explosions in Iran killed and injured more than 300 people
According to reports, in recent days, a series of explosions suddenly occurred in the Iranian city of Kerman. The interval between the two explosions was less than 10 minutes.
In the aftermath of the explosion, chaos ensued the scene, with large numbers of people fleeing and others injured by crowding and stampedes.
Subsequently, Iran claimed that 95 people were killed and 211 injured in the explosion.

It is worth noting that the day of the explosion coincided with the fourth anniversary of the murder of General Soleimani, and both explosions occurred on the way to Soleimani's mausoleum.
You must know that Soleimani is not an ordinary person, he served as the commander of the "Quds Force", a branch of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and played a very important role in the anti-American armed movement in Iraq and Syria.
Because of this, he is targeted by the United States and Israel.
In order to get rid of this henchman and to deter Iran, then-US President Trump ordered the assassination of Soleimani.
After Soleimani's killing, Iran held an annual commemoration in his honor.
Unexpectedly, someone would do it at the scene of the commemorative event and indiscriminately hurt the civilians present.
After the incident, the Iranian side angrily stated that it was clearly a terrorist attack. They will find out as soon as possible who caused the terrorist attack and who was behind it.
Iranian President Raisi even said that Iran would make the perpetrators of this terrorist attack pay a heavy price.

So, who is the real culprit in this attack?
Is it the anti-government groups inside and outside Iran, the United States, or Israel?
Obviously, they are all suspicious.
But the outside world generally believes that Israel is the most suspicious.
2. Why is Israel the most suspicious?
First, Israel is fully capable of infiltrating Iran and causing such a massive explosion.
Moreover, assassination is also a common Israeli method.
Not to mention the distance, just a few days ago, Israel attacked the offices of Hamas in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital with drones, eliminating Aluri, the second man in Hamas.
Secondly, Israel had a motive for the attack.
You must know that Israel's current situation is not optimistic, not only to deal with attacks on seven fronts at the same time, but also to find a way to deal with the blockade of the Red Sea by the Houthis in Yemen. The pressure of public opinion at home and abroad is also increasing.
At the critical moment, the so-called "ally" of the United States, however, showed signs of "running away."
As the situation continues to escalate, Iran has sailed warships into the Red Sea.
Seeing this, the United States hastened to withdraw the USS Ford aircraft carrier from the waters of the Middle East.

It is also easy to understand that the United States intends to intervene in the Middle East situation, but does not want to get too deep into the Middle East issue.
However, this is not good news for Israel.
After all, the reduction of the United States' military presence in the Middle East means that Israel will face more pressure.
In this case, Israel is bound to look for a new breakthrough.
And Iran is likely to be the breakthrough point.
Just imagine, if Israel can induce a strong reaction from Iran through bombing attacks, and take this opportunity to hype up the Iranian threat, wouldn't it be logical to retain US troops, and even use the power of the United States to solve the Iranian problem that is a headache for Israel?
In addition, we should not forget that Israel and Iran are old enemies.
In recent years, there have been a number of attacks on nuclear facilities and military factories in Iran.
The Iranian side believes that Israel is inextricably linked to these attacks.
In fact, this suspicion is not unfounded.
Israel has said that if Iran insists on developing its nuclear forces, it is likely to carry out military strikes against targets within its borders.
The main culprit in the attack on the military factory, which Iran arrested last year, is also believed to be an Israeli mercenary.
Even the US media broke the news that the attack on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility was planned and carried out by Israel with the support of US intelligence.

In the current tense situation, Israel may not be reluctant to repeat its old ways.
Of course, we cannot conclude from this that Israel was responsible for this attack.
Who the real culprit is depends on the final investigation results.
One thing is certain, however, that this incident will make the situation in the Middle East even worse.
Third, the situation in the Middle East does not allow for optimism
At present, the situation in the Middle East continues to escalate.
Despite the tremendous pressure from the international community, the Israeli army has not relaxed its offensive against Gaza.
In order to put pressure on Israel, Middle Eastern armed groups such as the Houthis and Allah in Lebanon have been killed.
The Houthis even ran to the Red Sea to block the shipping lanes, which not only caused a lot of trouble for Israel, but also affected world shipping.

Experts say anything can happen to the Middle East right now.
The bombing attack in Iran will undoubtedly further exacerbate already tense tensions.
Moreover, in the aftermath of the bombing, Iranian President Raisi warned Israel that Israel would pay for its crimes.
Obviously, whether Israel was responsible for the bombing or not, Iran is likely to put the blame on Israel.
You must know that the assassination of Soleimani by the United States was retaliated against by Iran.
Although Iran did not directly attack the United States as predicted, Iran dropped dozens of ballistic missiles on US military bases in Iraq, causing considerable losses to US troops.
If Iran intends to retaliate against Israel, not only Israel will suffer, but the entire Middle East situation may also go in unexpected directions due to the emergence of new variables.
