They say it was a suicide mission but the guards were in a moving vehicle, getting another car close enough and setting off a bomb would be difficult, it seems more likely it was an IED style attack.

Now being reported that there were two separate attacks and bombs.

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.

The bomb was detonated inside a hall in the middle of a large group of Iranian military, not outside.
