My take is that Iran has been looking for any good reason to launch attacks against the West. This comes as an early gift to the mullahs to justify any attack against the US, UK or even Israel. My guess is they were waiting for Israel to strike, but this may give them reason to get things going early. Iran needs good reason to justify any attack that comes and this will likely be it. It didn’t take them long to blame the US and UK for the attack.
General Noor Ali Shooshtari was among the Revolutionary Guard victims
Iran has warned it will take revenge against the US and Britain, accusing them of being involved in a suicide bombing that killed several Revolutionary Guard commanders.Six senior commanders and dozens of civilians died in the attack.
The headquarters of the armed forces blamed the bombing on “terrorists” backed by “the Great Satan America and its ally Britain”, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported.
“Not in the distant future we (Iran) will take revenge.” Earlier, Iranian state television said Sunni rebels carried out the bombing.
It said the militant group Jundallah (Soldiers of God) had claimed responsibility for the attack, the deadliest in Iran in recent years.
State media cited sources as saying “Britain was directly involved” – a common tactic used to divert attention away from the country’s internal problems.
