The number of the dead in the Wednesday terrorist blasts in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman has risen to 91 as two more people succumbed to their injuries.

The head of Kerman’s Emergency Services Seyyed Mohammad Saberi identified the new victims as Taha Shadkam, 6, and Saeed Shahnavazi, 60.
