Iran said Wednesday that 103 people were killed and dozens more wounded in explosions that rocked a memorial for a prominent Iranian general killed in a 2020 U.S. drone strike.

One Iranian official called the blasts a "terroristic" attack that occurred near the grave site of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the one-time head of the Revolutionary Guard's elite Quds Force.
