Iran TV: Stampede at procession for slain general, some dead

|
Iranian state television is reporting that a stampede has erupted at a funeral procession for a general slain in U.S. airstrike and that there are an unspecified number of people killed or injured.
State TV's online report on Tuesday says the incident happened in Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani's hometown of Kerman, in southeastern Iran.
The TV quoted the head of Iran's emergency medical services, Pirhossein Koulivand, saying there had been people injured and killed. He did not offer any casualty figures. A procession in Tehran on Monday drew over 1 million people in the Iranian capital, crowding both main thoroughfares and side streets.
