The U.S. government privately warned Iran about a planned terrorist attack by the Islamic State group’s affiliate, ISIS-K, before the recent bombings in Kerman. The U.S. follows a longstanding policy of a ‘duty to warn’ other governments against potential lethal threats. However, Iran has not acknowledged the warning from the U.S. ISIS-K claimed responsibility for the attack in Kerman, which killed 95 people. Iran has been trying to blame the U.S. and Israel for the attack. It’s worth noting that ISIS-K was also responsible for the suicide bombing at the Kabul airport in 2021.
