The terrorist attacked that killed more than 42 people, including 11 commanders of Iran’s elite Islamic Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, is being blamed on Pakistan. Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused Pakistan of having links to the bombers who carried out a suicide attack. President Ahmadinejad is quoted as saying that he knew “some security agents in Pakistan are co-operating with the main elements of this terrorist incident” in Sistan-Baluchestan province. “We regard it as our right to demand these criminals from them”, he said, without giving further details.
Though Pakistan is not the only country to be blamed for these terrorist attacks. The Iranian officials have accused both United States and the United Kingdom for these horrendous attacks. As the Wall Street Journal reported, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Major-General Muhammad Ali Jafari has accused the U.S., the U.K. and Pakistan of having links with the Sunni militants responsible for the suicide bombing. “New evidence has been obtained proving the link between yesterday’s terrorist attack and the U.S., British and Pakistani intelligence services,” state TV quoted Gen. Jafari as saying. “Evidence shows that U.S., British and Pakistani intelligence supported the group.” He said the attack was “undoubtedly” planned and ordered by the three nation’s intelligence services and that a delegation would soon travel to Pakistan to present evidence.
The main suspect for the bombing is the Sunni rebel group, known as Jundallah, or Soldiers of God.
Here is an Al-Jazeera report detailing the suicide attack in Sistan-Baluchestan province:

The first wave of the Russian offensive in Ukraine has fallen short of Russian autocrat Vladmir Putin’s ambitions. Most analysts deduced that Putin had hoped to achieve a decapitation strike of the Ukrainian government- taking Kiev and replacing Ukrainian President Vladimir Zolinski with a pro-Kremlin voice.
