— 🇮🇷/🏴 READ: ISIS claimed responsibility for the Kerman bombings, but many things about the attack do not check out

There are some very suspicious signs that not ISIS, but rather a different entity wrote today's statement. They are the following:

1. ISIS used the word 'Iran' in its official statement, which is highly unusual. ISIS always uses Islamic rhetoric, as they do not believe in the concept of nation states. In past attacks on Iran, they called it 'Fars Province' or 'Khorasan Province' as part of the Islamic Caliphate, but never 'Iran'.

2. ISIS published the photos of the two alleged suicide bombers with their faces blurred. This is highly unusual; previous suicide bombers never had their faces blurred. Additionally, there is no practical reason for the images to be blurred, which is usually done to avoid identification leading to their arrest. This is not an active risk, because the suicide bombers are already dead and their bodies in pieces.

3. ISIS took responsibility approximately 30 hours after the bombings. This is unusual, as the terrorist group usually issues a statement on the same day of the attack, most of the times even immediately after.
