At least 35 people have been killed in a stampede as Iranians flocked to the burial of a top commander killed in a US drone strike.

It is unclear what caused the stampede in Kerman, south-eastern Iran, but vast numbers of people were in the streets ahead of Soleimani’s planned burial. More than 48 others were injured.
The deaths led to the postponement of Qasem Soleimani’s burial. A new time will be announced later.
Soleimani is being laid to rest in his hometown of Kerman with millions already estimated to have packed the streets for funeral processions.
His killing has raised fears of a conflict between the US and Iran.
