Certain foreign spy agencies had hand in terror attack on Iran forces: Leader

Press TV - Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has denounced�a bloody terrorist attack that targeted members of Iran�s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), saying the spy agencies of certain regional and trans-regional countries certainly had a hand in this crime.

In a message on Thursday, Ayatollah Khamenei offered condolences to the bereaved families of the IRGC forces who lost their lives in Wednesday�s terrorist bomb attack, which took place in Iran�s southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.

Ayatollah Khamenei further called�on the IRGC and relevant government institutions to swiftly and seriously follow up on the incident and deal with the perpetrators.
�It is certain that the perpetrators of this crime were linked to spy agencies of certain regional and trans-regional countries and the country�s relevant organizations must focus on that and seriously pursue it.�
On Wednesday, an explosives-laden car rammed into a bus carrying the IRGC personnel on a road between the cities of Zahedan and Khash, leaving 27 of them dead and 13 others wounded.

The so-called Jaish ul-Adl terrorist group reportedly claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif raised suspicion about the attack�s possible links to an anti-Iran summit co-hosted by the US and Poland, which kicked off in Warsaw on Wednesday.

President Hassan Rouhani also described the US and the Israeli regime as the �root causes of terror� in the Middle East region as he condemned the deadly attack on the IRGC forces.

The IRGC has vowed a strong response to those behind the bloodshed.
