Stampede at Iran general's funeral leaves 32 dead

And we didn't even need a drone!

But not in the way he imagined.

Looking back...What a f-ing joke!

A stampede at the funeral for a top Iranian general killed 32 people and injured 190 on Tuesday in the southeastern city of Kerman, state television reported. 

"Unfortunately, because of overcrowding 32 of our citizens lost their lives in the procession... and 190 were injured," the head of the country's emergency services, Pirhossein Koolivand, told the channel. 

The injured were immediately transferred to a hospital, he added. 

AFP correspondents in Kerman said the streets of the southeastern city were packed with mourners for the funeral of Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani in his hometown. 

People were seen taking refuge on hillsides around the city on state television. 

Soleimani, the hugely popular head of the Guards' Quds Force, was assassinated on Friday in a US drone strike near Baghdad international airport, an operation that shocked the Islamic republic. 

When they say 'assassinated' that indicates leftists wrote this article. 

The multi-colored butterfly is a nice touch, don't you think?

Tuesday's funeral comes after days of processions through the southwestern city of Ahvaz and the shrine cities of Qom and Mashhad as well as the capital Tehran. 

The United States killed Iran's top general and architect of Tehran's proxy wars in the Middle East in an airstrike at Baghdad's international airport on Jan. 2, an attack that threatens to dramatically ratchet up tensions in the region.
