Women hold pictures of Iranian Major-General Qassem Soleimani, head of the elite Quds Force, who was killed in an air strike at Baghdad airport, during a funeral procession and burial at his hometown in Kerman, Iran January 7, 2020.

At least 35 people were killed in Iran on Tuesday in a stampede during the funeral for a top military commander who was killed in a U.S. drone strike last week, Iran’s official English-language news channel Press TV reported on Twitter. The report did not give a precise death toll from the stampede, which occurred in the southeastern city of Kerman where Commander Qassem Soleimani’s funeral ceremony drew tens of thousands of people on to the streets.
