Bomb explodes in Tehran near last blast 33 minutes ago



A bomb exploded in southeastern Iran late Friday, near the site where an earlier explosion this week killed 11 members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, the state-run news agency IRNA reported.

"Minutes ago, the sound of a bomb explosion was heard in one of Zahedan's streets," the agency said. The report offered no further details, including whether there were casualties.

On Wednesday, a car blew up a bus owned by the elite troops in Zahedan, capital of the Sistan-Baluchestan province on the border with Pakistan.

I'd like to believe that this is the beginning of more direct internal displeasure to the Iranian government as the targets seem to be rather low value for the U.S. to bother with. But until more evidence appears I'd have to say the most likely cause for these bombs is the U.S.

They're giving insurgents bombs in Iraq, whats wrong with returning the favor. Lets also not forget they bought 800 rifles from Steyr, .50 cal BMG that can and will pierce body armor and the armored plate of our Humvees and we've recovered about 100 of them in Iraq since the sale.

I would have to say that I believe this to be the work of the Spec Ops

It must be either U.S Special forces inserted from Pakistan, or perhaps Iranian rebels being supplied by the U.S.

It must be the same group as the one responsible for the bus bombing, if it's the same area.

People have to deal with fighting enemies supplied from other nations. It always happens but the idea of the U.S. starting operations in Iran is really something that worries me as starting a conflict there would be a disaster on such epic proportions that I really want to believe that Bush really wouldn't consider it and is just blustering to Iran. I hope.

oh i don't know, the amount of Iranians caught crossing the border carrying munitions? And besides the Iraqi's have to be getting their supplies from SOMEWHERE

Well, with the history of US operations, it is probably Iranian anti-governments led or trained by US Spec Ops.

That makes perfect sense because

We don't have Ops in Pakistan

PAKISTAN DOESN'T BORDER IRAN!

How about all those Iraqi munitions warehouses and armories looted at the very start of this conflict, at the same time a "Mission Accomplished" banner was waving on an aircraft carrier?

How about all those weapons and ammunition former Iraqi soldiers where allowed to walk home with after being made redundant by the temporary U.S transition council?

oh they got a quite of bit from there. Quite a bit was also seized. Some of the more advanced Explosives and IED's have parts from elsewhere. And no matter how much they got when we took the country, they have shot off, destroyed and made inoperable a LOT in the almost 4 years we've been in that country. Supplies don't last forever.


And about the Mission Accomplished, listen the goal of the invading army was to knock saddam out of power and take power themeselves, they had done that. As far as CONTROLLING the country afterwards, well that is a tad different and a new mission, one that was mismanaged HORRIBLY.

I'm sorry, nothing is going to make Bush look better from that huge mistake he made by rushing to make some huge speech about the "mission being accomplished". It was just a political maneuver and you know their arrogance let them to believe there wouldn't be an insurgency. No, the whole affair is an event Bush and his cronies wish would disappear but I for one certainly have no intention of forgetting.

Could be US special operations, but it also could be actual Iranian rebels (probably supplied by the US though). Either way, what goes around comes around.

It is not questionable legality really. If you like the war or not isn't really the point. The point is that Iraq was breaking and continued to break the terms of the ceasefire. That is all the legality you need.

If Iran is supplying insurgents inside Iraq. Which if anyone was to logically look at the situation they could figure that one out. They should be dealt with accordingly. Either by direct military action or indirect actions such as a guerrilla group.

That's basically the history of Western political actions in the Mideast. Selling arms to people who, five years later, will use them against us.

Well, in regards to returning the favor, I'm sure Americans can't complain if local insurgents started sporting high performance Russian anti-aircraft weaponry.

You guys do know though right that the US has NO credible evidence that Iran is supplying and aiding insurgents in Iraq, the only evidence that the US has produced is when Dubya showed some random pictures which confirm absolutely nothing to the media.

The fact remained, the problems in Iraq cannot be blamed on Iran or anyone but the US, Dubya is just looking for a scapegoat for his own massive failings in the war, and would gladly attempt to switch the blame from his own blunders.

Iran's interests in the region are threatened by the US in Iraq, which borders it, the US on the other hand is under no direct threat. Therefore it is Iran's sovereign right to engage whatever military means necessary to expel the US from the region, and I personally support such arming of insurgents.

Certain administrative groups would like to see a civil war, chaos and disorder in the Middle East and the invasion of Iraq is one of many steps leading to that goal. The secret intelligence knew that Iraq was a fragile place where sectarian violence was inevitable if anarchy were to occur. They knew this since the Gulf war 1 and one of the main reasons for Bush senior not going into Iraq back then was that.

As to this, its high time that the people take matters into their own hands as they cannot reform their country peacefully. Kick out the Mullahs and let us bring back democracy to Persia.

:rolleyes: It's not like the glorious islamic republic of Iran does not have its problems with its ethnic/religious minorities like Baluchis and the Azeris and the Arab sunnis. During the Shah's time there was a Baluchi armed revolt on both sides of the border and he collaborated with the Pakistanis in putting it down rather brutally.

Blame the Yanks or blame the Yehudis first, right ? ;)

The problem with you is that if anybody/anything adds "islamic" in the front, it becomes automatically peachy regardless of reality.

US has just about everything setup inside Pakistan. Airbases, listening posts, HUMINT, ELINT, monitoring stations inside their airports etc etc.

Iranians themselves are blaming Pakistanis and Balochis.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry charged Sunday that Sunni insurgents from Iran used Pakistan as a base to plan a bombing that killed 11 people and wounded more than 30 in the southeastern border city of Zahedan last week. The ministry said it had demanded an explanation from the Pakistani ambassador.
