“Now the West is actively using ISIS cells (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in Syria in order to carry out acts of sabotage and attacks on the Armed Forces of the Syrian Arab Republic,” the minister said at a press conference. As Regnum reported, on January 3, during a mourning ceremony on the anniversary of the death of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Qasem Soleimani, who was buried in a cemetery in Kerman, two explosions occurred. The victims of the terrorist attack were 89 people, including 39 minors. More than 280 people were injured. The Islamic State (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) claimed responsibility for the explosion. Iran's spiritual leader Ali Khamenei threatened the organizers of the terrorist attack with a harsh response. On August 2, 2023, the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Arab Republic (CPVS), Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, said that Russia was concerned about the information received about the active preparation of suicide bombers for terrorist attacks against targets and patrols of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria.
