No one has taken responsibility for the explosions Wednesday that killed more than 100 Iranians at a memorial for terrorist leader Qassem Soleimani, and it could be an act of domestic terrorism. The Tehran regime has many internal enemies, including Sunni Islamist groups that specialize in mass-casualty attacks. The bombings are despicable no matter the perpetrator.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei promised a “harsh response” without specifying those responsible. The regime might be tempted to blame Israel and the U.S., its usual suspects, but such explosions aren’t in either country’s interests. They also aren’t the way the U.S. and Israel have pursued Iranian targets when they have wanted to do so.
