The latest reports state a death toll of 103 people so far, in addition to 170 injured. According to internal reports in Iran, many of the injured and a significant portion of the dead were injured during the panic that arose during the gathering in the area of ​​Soleimani's grave, when many of the injured and the dead were injured as a result of trampling and crushing during the panic of the crowd at the scene, as can be seen in several videos distributed from the scene of the explosion.
