State media reports that at least 20 people were killed in explosions at the tomb of Iranian General Soleimani, a known terrorist
Explosions at Ceremony Marking Death of Qassem Soleimani
DUBAI (Reuters)—In a shocking turn of events, two explosions caused by ‘terrorist attacks’ have rocked a cemetery in Iran where a ceremony was taking place to commemorate the 2020 death of the country’s revered commander, Qassem Soleimani. The ceremony was held to honor Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. drone attack. Iranian officials have confirmed that at least 20 people have lost their lives, with dozens more injured.
The explosions occurred during the ceremony in the southeastern city of Kerman, as reported by Iranian state television. A local official in the Kerman province described the blasts as “terrorist attacks.” The semi-official Nournews had initially stated that “several gas canisters exploded on the road leading to the cemetery.”
Heart-wrenching scenes unfolded on State TV, showing Red Crescent rescuers rushing to attend to the wounded individuals at the ceremony. Hundreds of Iranians had gathered to pay their respects to Soleimani on the anniversary of his death. Some Iranian news agencies have reported that at least 50 people were wounded.
“Our rapid response teams are working tirelessly to evacuate the injured individuals. However, the roads are congested due to the overwhelming number of people,” said Reza Fallah, head of the Kerman province Red Crescent, in an interview with state TV.
It is worth noting that President Joe Biden’s State Department had previously refrained from endorsing former President Donald Trump’s decision to eliminate Soleimani. “We’re not going to rehash history,” a State Department spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon at the time.

How does written communication allow for careful expression of thoughts and ideas?
Tten communication refers to any form of communication that uses written words as the primary means of expressing thoughts, ideas, and information. It is commonly used in various formats, such as emails, letters, reports, memos, and text messages.
One of the key advantages of written communication is its permanence. Once a message is written and sent, it can be stored and referred to at a later time, unlike spoken communication that can be easily forgotten. This makes written communication useful for conveying complex or detailed information that may need to be revisited or reviewed.
Written communication also allows for more careful and considered expression of thoughts. Unlike oral communication, which can be spontaneous and less structured, written communication provides the opportunity to carefully choose words and craft a clear and coherent message. This is especially important in formal or professional settings, where precision and clarity are valued.
Additionally, written communication provides the ability to reach a large audience simultaneously. With the advent of electronic communication, messages can be easily shared and distributed to a wide range of recipients, regardless of their location or time zone. This makes it an efficient and effective means of communication, particularly in business or organizational contexts.
Lastly, written communication provides a permanent record that can be used for documentation or legal purposes. Written agreements, contracts, or policies can serve as tangible evidence of agreements or responsibilities, providing a level of accountability and ensuring that parties involved are held to what was initially communicated.
However, there are also some challenges associated with written communication. One common challenge is the lack of immediate feedback or clarification. Unlike spoken communication where immediate interaction and clarification can take place, written communication may require additional time and effort to resolve any questions or misunderstandings that arise.
Another challenge is the potential for misinterpretation. Without the nuances of tone of voice or body language, written communication can be open to various interpretations, leading to confusion or misunderstandings. It is important for writers to be clear, concise, and mindful of the audience’s potential interpretations when crafting written messages.
Overall, written communication is a valuable tool that allows for clear, permanent, and widespread communication. It offers numerous advantages in terms of organizing thoughts, reaching a large audience, and providing a record of communication; however, it also requires careful thought and consideration to ensure effective and accurate message transmission.
