A truck bomb attack on a bus carrying members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, killed 27 Guards and wounded 13 others in the southeastern Sistan and Baluchistan Province on Wednesday, according to Iranian media reports.
The Guards, part of the elite branch of Iran's armed forces, were traveling a 100-mile mountainous route from the city of Khash to the provincial capital of Zahedan, when they came under attack, reports Iran's semi-official Fars news agency, citing a statement from the Revolutionary Guards.
The group's Quds Force unit said the United States, its allies and Zionism shared responsibility for the attack, without elaborating on the claim.
But the Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium, known as TRAC, posted a tweet allegedly showing a message from the Sunni militant group Jaish al Adl, claiming responsibility for the attack.

Naturally they are going to blame everyone but their own people.

I was a new Lieutenant when the Iranians took over the US Embassy in Tehran and held our citizens hostage. We sang running cadences about going to Iran and killing Khomeni. "I wanna go to old Iran. I wanna kill a holy man." I still have a strong dislike for Iran, the concept of the religious supreme leader, Khomeni, and the dictatorship oppressing the Iranian people. While traveling by plane I have sat next to Iranians now and then. They have all wanted freedom from the oppressive government. Maybe we should support the freedom loving Iranians and end this 30 year stand off with idiots in Tehran.
