The attack was reported to have occurred near Pishin, which is almost at the coast, at the very South of the Iran Pakistan border
Mmmmmm,,,Interesting,,,
Watchin’ Close...
The first attack took place at a unity gathering of Shia and Sunni tribal leaders on Sunday morning, in the Pishin area, a region situated in the borderline Province of Sistan-Balouchestan.
At around the same time, another group of IRGC commanders were caught in an explosion as their convoy came under attack at a road junction in Pishin- a region situated between the two towns of Sarbaz and Chabahar.
Reported up to 60 killed now. Looks like diplomacy time is just about over.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards accused "foreign elements" linked to the United States of involvement in Sunday's attack that killed at least two senior commanders of the elite force, state television reported.
Was waiting on that. This may be the kick off to some major fireworks...
Keep in mind that the source you are quoting (#28) is PressTV (the IRI media outlet).
Sarbaz and Chabahar have been for many years, even during the Shah’s era, hotbeds of “less-than-desirable” activities.
Jundallah has over the year & up til now been linked to MeK, the West (incl. U.S./EU), Saudi Arabia, drug barons of Pakistan & Afghanistan, and even the Shia Government of Iran, by a variety of groups & people, depending on their personal and political orientation.
>”Looks like diplomacy time is just about over.”
Whose diplomacy? A view is that Obama may even take a deeper bow next time he is granted an audience with the King at the House of Saud.
year = years
Which Islam will Obama support ? He usually goes with whatever Putin suggests and Putin loves the Iranian Shiites. But dang, he did bow to the King of Saudi Arabia and he got a real neat golden necklace.
Islam, ultimately, will support Islam (period). That’s, regardless of Sunni, Wahhabi or Shia differences (moderate or conservative). Because, the fundamental theology, doctrine and ideology are the same.
So the Iranians will publicly blame elements linked to the United States even though internally they may find out it was one of a handle of suspected groups. Sounds like the MO of half the world. Blame everything on the US.
Was that taken before or after Moozzi pulled his dress
up for a Butt-Smoooch??!!??!...(BARF!!!)...
I don’t see that as a possibility.
The Revolutionary Guard is the elite government type in Iran.
They are the political players, the businessmen, the government officials.
The only time they might be near a bomb is in a terrorism school as a teacher.
looks like israel doing a little prep work!
BBC: Within hours of the attack, the Guards accused “foreign elements” - usually used to refer to the US - for the attack.
“Surely foreign elements, particularly those linked to the global arrogance, were involved in this attack,” a Guards statement quoted by state television said.
So NOW it’s a “homicide” bombing?
