Iran Will Punish US And Israel
Iranian media say the Sunni Muslim insurgent group Jundollah (God’s soldiers) has claimed responsibility for Sunday’s bombing in Sistan-Baluchestan province, which killed 42 people in all.
The suicide bombing attack Sunday morning left a number of Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commanders among those dead and wounded.
Reuters reports that the incident threatened to overshadow talks between Iran and global powers in Vienna on Monday intended to tackle a standoff about Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Iran Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Sunday the terrorist attack in southeast of the country is an outcome of the US measures, reported Tehran’s ISNA news agency.
Before leaving Tehran for Geneva to attend the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting, Larijani said, “in the past there were many reports that Americans have been involved in such terrorist measures with terrorist groups.”
Charges against the West ratcheted up today when Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari told reporters, “today a document was presented by Iran’s security system that shows the malicious Rigi group is directly linked to the intelligence agencies of US, Britain and unfortunately Pakistan and this person (Abdul Malik Rigi) and his plans are undoubtedly covered and supported by these agencies.”
Asked about Iran’s approach to punish the main agents of terrorist measures in Sistan-Balouchestan on Sunday, Jafari said, “behind this scene there are the US and Israel intelligence agencies and in order to punish them we must take retaliatory measures,” said the ISNA.
“The global Arrogance must know that it won’t succeed through these measures,” he said.
